Spain is continuing to seek to establish a Europe-wide vaccination card or passport as a means of opening up to foreign tourism this summer. The economic affairs ministry has identified such a document as being of fundamental importance in enabling a recovery of tourism.

I would like to point out that the vaccinations doesn't stop 100% of the people from getting the virus. You can be vaccinated and sick/contaigess but the vaccin will lower your symptoms and will save you from dying . Therefore a sick vaccinated person can creat havoc in an unvaccinated populations and they may not know they are sick!!! I fully believe that we should keep the covid test result and boarder check as the entry level to the Balearic Islands and not a green passport.
It’s nothing short of irony that the minister continues to press for vaccination passports, while the vaccine rollout in the Balearics remains woeful. Yes, the passports could well help reactive tourism. But, it’s a two way street. Local populations need to be vaccinated so that tourists feel safe and the resident population is protected. A repeat of last year - when Covid was brought to the island and led to a subsequent expansion of figures - needs to be avoided at all costs. It would mean certain death for the islands economies. So, please stop speculating and issue some real news on the vaccine rollout. It’s the only story that means anything at the moment and one that is suspiciously absent from the front pages.
Here we go again! So what about the 35% of the people who democratically choose against the vaccine and the younger generations. Stop the ride I want to get off. Politicians need to stop putting us all in the same category. We should have a choice and not be coerced.
