Hotels Consider Requiring All Guests to Have COVID Vaccination: Not Shot, No Service
Posted on
Hotels have now joined airlines in considering whether or not to mandate that all guests have proof of COVID vaccination before being allowed to stay.
Several airlines have already announced plans to make the shot a compulsory condition of flying. According to anecdotal evidence, hotels and other forms of accomodation could follow suit.
A reader of the LockdownSkeptics website reported that a hotel in Scotland which offers wildlife holidays is preparing to adopt the no vaccine, no service policy.
“Should a vaccination programme be rolled out in the next few months, then it is likely we will require all guests to have been vaccinated before arrival,” states an item in the hotel’s newsletter.
Vaccine challenge as new COVID strands emerge15/12/2020|3min
The challenge to produce an effective COVID-19 vaccine is evolving as new variants of the virus are being identified across Europe, according to Sky News reporter Ashish Joshi.
The United Kingdom last week begun the largest vaccination program in the country s history with four million doses expected to be administered by the end of the month.
However, matching the speed of the vaccine rollout is the appearance of new emerging strands of coronavirus.
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed the identification of a new variant of the virus in Southern England.
“Initial analyses suggest that this variant is growing faster than the existing variants,” Mr Hancock said.

Nine cases of a new variant of Covid-19 first identified in England have been reported in Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed.
The cases were all detected in the Greater Glasgow area, and date back to the end of November.
The World Health Organisation has been notified about the new strain of the virus, with detailed studies ongoing.
Ms Sturgeon said there is nothing to suggest it causes a more severe illness in people, but it may spread faster.
She said people should not prematurely overreact to the development.
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed on Monday that the new variant of coronavirus had been recorded in at least 60 different local authority areas.
