Actually it all doesn't matter.. The vaccine is to vaccinate, not to prevent pandemy or whatever.
This would mean that under 40's cannot go on holiday this year. Fair? No, not really, especially as the younger generation has suffered the most due to lockdowns.
How will that work for families travelling together with children who are old enough to be vaccinated but young enough that the program hasn't yet reached their age group ?
This simply is a knee jerk idea which when put into the real world simply wouldn't work for many various reasons. (a) Vaccination in the UK has targeted the 70+ age range of which i would say make up a small % of people who come to the island and if they do, maybe don't spend much around the island or resort as go all inc at the hotel. (b) most of the above also don't have smart phones for any said app, and paperwork would cause huge delays at airport while they try to read various different paper work. (c) having the vaccine apparently does not stop transmission. (d) While you welcome everyone you really need the 18-60 age range who spend money in and around the resorts. (e) Reyes also says that people wouldn't have to go into quarantine, but would still have to social distance, wear masks outside your hotel room and the like even when you've had the vaccine. I love Mallorca and come over a few times a year, but i would be hard pushed to spend good money to come over if i was met with more restrictions than that of being at home. The other limiting factor there is im an early 30's healthy person so a vaccine for me would be maybe upto a year away, so is Reyes saying im 'not' welcome as i havent had a vaccine? (and that also opens up a big can regarding people who medically can't, those on religious grounds and those who simply don't want the vaccine, but thats another debate)
