I think there is still a big misunderstood existing regarding vaccination. Right now the vaccination rate of a country or a continent doesn`t predict anything about the future progress of the pandemic or your personal health condition as a traveller.

Think about Isreal or UK. Both have a quite the same vaccination rate and both show an increase of infections. Also both, Israel earlier than UK, decided to easing restrictions for different reasons. None of the vaccines both countries used offer a complete protection against hospitalization due to the Delta variant.

The experience and evidental data the world has got up to now with C19 vaccination shows if a partially immune population starts replicating a virus by high numbers of infections, it will inevitably produce escape variants of the virus. India is the best known proof for this.

What will the world do if one this escape variants will be vaccine-resistant?

You should be aware of that even if you are vaccinated by what vaccine whatever, you can get infected with a C19 variant. In the majority of cases you will be protected against a perilious course of illness.

You as a vaccinated traveller and the vaccinated people of the area or country you are visiting could be a possible spreaders as well. There is no medical evidence given up to now that excludes these possibilty of virus reproduction. This fact could give power to virus to convert itself into a vaccine-resistant one.

It is equal if you travel or if you stay in your home country. Every country which isn`t vaccinated to 100% or to a rate to recieve herd immunity will take part in the game of virus mutations.

In the moment nobody can predict in what kind of pandemic situation the world will be in 2 month. The worldwide vaccination rate is still everywhere much to low to prevent further mutations.

As brclarke said: It`s a gamble in the moment and you decide about your bet!
