Let’s be honest. Not all countries are equally successful with their COVID19 vaccination roll-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many of us are in countries in which there seems to be no hope to get vaccinated before the summer (or even the foreseeable future). The international school community hasn’t been able to see their families in almost two years, so they are eagerly hoping to do so this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although vaccination is not a mandatory prerequisite for travel, being vaccinated would definitely give them some peace of mind while visiting their loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Different regions of the world are having different dynamics in rolling out their vaccination programs. Europe is currently lagging behind the countries such as UK, Israel, Chile, Serbia, the USA, etc. But most developing countries are lagging behind Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the time crunch, a number of international school teachers are choosing to go to their home countries anyway and looking at maybe also getting vaccinated there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As plane tickets are being bought (hopefully with a flexible rescheduling policy), we are currently seeing new waves of infections in many countries around the world (and maybe even your home country). This puts all of us in a moral doubt of whether we should take a risk and travel to see our friends and family or should be more patient and wait until more certain times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After looking at some flights from Europe to the USA, the prices look very attractive compared to previous years. So buying one of these flights is hard to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, it is hard to know what the world will look like come June. We don’t know yet which requirements you’ll have to meet to even fly to your home country. As of today, most countries just require proof of a negative PCR test for citizens of that country (and their spouse\/family). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your plans for this coming summer? Will you take the chance and fly home?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
