CNN’s Jake Tapper asked if more businesses should obtain proof, from customers, of their vaccination status. Francis Collins, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director, said yes, as he wanted to see the pandemic end. He suggested that peoples’ desire to be at public events could serve as encouragement tools for people to want to be fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n
From Newsweek:<\/span><\/p>\n “But I think maybe that’s what it will take for some of those who’ve still been a little reluctant to say ‘Ok it’s time.’ The data will support that decision. They are making the right choice for their own safety, but sometimes it takes a nudge,” he added.<\/p>\n When asked if he believed airlines should require travelers to be vaccinated, Collins said that’s up to the companies, but noted: “a case could be made for that.”<\/p>\n “And that would be another incentive for some of those who are reluctant and people wouldn’t be surprised, I think, to see that start to happen,” Collins said.<\/p>\n “So if you’re thinking about international travel and you’re not yet vaccinated, it might be time to go ahead and get started,” he added.<\/p>\n In some cities around the country, restaurants have started requiring diners to present proof of vaccination at the door. In Seattle, at least 60 restaurants and bars are doing so.<\/p>\n On Friday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he was considering making it a mandate for restaurants to require their customers to provide vaccination credentials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Newsweek has the full article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
