That's not correct. They are still doing long term safety studies that will not be complete for another couple of years. Any other vaccine would need to have these long term safety studies completed before its rolled out. The FDA panel stated this during their discussion when debating and reviewing the data for 5-11 year old EUA. I know this because I watched the entire streamed FDA panel discussion.
Requiring a medical procedure to board a ship is a mandate. You can parse words but the end is the same. Yes, we did speak with our money.
The end result is the same.
I appreciate your perspective vs mine regarding use of the word mandate / requirement. Again, for me- I just can’t and won’t support it. I’m not looking to argue, just sharing.

Thanks for replying, I hope we can agree to disagree
. I’m sure lots of people have varying thoughts / facts etc. up and down the scale. I’m not looking to argue or change minds,

Again, they went through the same tests. The follow ups are for judging how long they are effective. They used to take longer to develop because we didn't have things like genetic engineering where we can pinpoint exactly what is going on. The old days was throw whatever seems likely to see if it worked. ALL vaccines go through 3 steps and ALL of the current vaccines have gone through all 3. If you want more info, I suggest you look at some of the websites that talk about how clinical trials work. We know the vaccines work, we know they are safe, and we know that most of the people who are hospitalized (including children) are unvaccinated. And not being vaccinated put those who cannot get vaccinated at serious risk. And yes, there are many vaccines that are mandated - try enrolling your kid in public school without any vaccines. Good luck.
Incorrect.. no vaccine has ever had any serious side effects that showed up after six months. Long term is for judging effectiveness, not safety. And we already know the dangers of the illness are far greater than any risk from the vaccine. One of the vaccines even has full approval. While safety followup is part of the procedure under EUA (not on approved) the main focus is on effectiveness.https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/emergency-use-authorization-vaccines-explained
Yes, you will need to upload them to the website, but it is recommended that you bring them with you just in case. We weren't asked for them, but had them with us.
You are wasting your time with people who do not understand science and do not care to learn. Enjoy cruising with knowledge that these fools won’t be getting your kids sick in the Oceaneer Club.
That does not even logically follow what we were discussing.
She is a concerned parent. Concerned parents know more than doctors, scientists, teachers, and lawyers.
I don't have an issue with the second test. I just wanted to make sure that we won't need to find a test in the area prior to leaving. My in-laws are in Europe right now and they arrived a few days before the cruise. They needed to find a testing center there prior to embarkation. Thanks for your reply.
No it isn't.
I appreciate your point, I would just like to highlight that my family and I are fully vaccinated, and we cancelled. We did this because we don’t support Disney’s approach to its consumers, the best way to show that was by canceling.
