There already are required vaccinations—yellow fever being the most common, but Hep A and tetanus, are pretty much standard for international travel. How is it you’ve never taken a vaccination?
Everyone one in my pilot circle have been vaccinated or plan to when it’s available.

so ask yourself, why do we need one now????
the sheep are strong in this thread. Heaven forbid anyone think for themselves and not let a bunch of power hungry politicians tell them what to believe.

Hep A & tetanus are more about protecting YOURSELF from contraction. With COVID, the concern is viral spread TO OTHERS. The Vietnamese government doesn’t care if you eat bad street food & jack up your liver. They do care if you’re bringing airborne virus that will overwhelm their hospitals & extend the need for social & economic lockdowns.

I remember carrying one around the world. As did everyone I flew with. It was a yellow booklet.

Yep it was a mandatory vaccination card. I used to carry it in my flight bag. It was required to be with you internationally. That was a different airline, I don’t recall it ever being required at UAL.

Yes it was " required " was never asked for it though. Huge difference though between the Yellow Fever shot which has been around for a very very long time.. and this rushed/ still not time proven vaccine we have now.

Guess time will tell if there is an actual difference. I wonder how many people waiting on the yellow fever vaccine.
