When asked by reporters about how the government intends to go about convincing people to get the vaccine, Health Minister Christine Elliott warned that those who refuse it will face difficulties reintegrating into society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s their choice, this is not going to be a mandatory campaign. It will be voluntary,\u201d Elliot said, but adding that \u201cThere may be some restrictions that may be placed on people that don\u2019t have vaccines for travel purposes, to be able to go to theatres and other places.\u201d<\/p>\n

When another reporter asked if the government would be introducing \u2018immunity passports\u2019, or proof of vaccination cards, Elliot said \u201cYes, because that\u2019s going to be really important for people to have for travel purposes, perhaps for work purposes, for going to theatres or cinemas or any other places where people will be in closer physical contact.\u201d<\/p>\n
