Thanks for all the input. We booked our flights a couple days ago and are hoping for no problems and good birding.
Why would it be not advisable to do something you just did, specially when the conditions are the same?I just came back from Ecuador, and no one ever asked for vaccination status either leaving or entering the country. Hell, no one even bothered to enforce the mask rule, which online sources say is required for the airport.
I don't foresee that situation changing, short of a new pandemic, in which case it probably wouldn't be advisable to travel anyway.
ps: there is no such thing as 'immunization'. Even vaccined people can get covid. And people who got covid are more resistent, but can still get covid again. I personally wouldn't bother with the WHO brewing up something, I don't think anything will get implemented worldwide anytime soon.
I said if a NEW pandemic happens. Like an entirely new highly infectious/dangerous pathogen appears. I absolutely would NOT travel if some new super flu as contagious and as potentially dangerous as COVID 19 were to show up. I'm vaccinated against COVID-19 and cases have been relatively low over the last year, so I had no qualms with international travel.Why would it be not advisable to do something you just did, specially when the conditions are the same?
I should have added "100%" (immunization) with regards to COVID 19. Semantics.There is, but it doesn't mean "being (100%) immune" as is often implied/misunderstood. It's simply the process of fortifying the immune system through exposure (to the pathogen itself or some derivative, like a vaccine).
Either way, the OP is unlikely to face any restrictions anywhere.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but as a previously, very fit person, (as a man in his sixties, I could still row 2000m in under 9 mins, try it!) I developed heart failure from nowhere having had four shots of the Covid vaccine.I said if a NEW pandemic happens. Like an entirely new highly infectious/dangerous pathogen appears.

But I thought your conditions were established to be long-term undiagnosed suddenly becoming symptomatic rather than of recent origin? I mean lets face it, most heart-attack survivors will tell you they didn't see it coming, whatever shape they were in.I'm not one for conspiracy theories but as a previously, very fit person, (as a man in his sixties, I could still row 2000m in under 9 mins, try it!)

I will refer people to my earlier post.Can we stick to the OP's travel insurance question.
Mono, do you ever sleep 😜.I will refer people to my earlier post.
Potentially 'long term' but within the period during which I was vaccinated, they don't really know.But I thought your conditions were established to be long-term undiagnosed suddenly becoming symptomatic rather than of recent origin?

BTW would you happen to know whether, before after or between COVID vaccine doses, you ever contracted COVID?

That's already been my favorite post in the whole thread so far!!I will refer people to my earlier post.
