American Airlines New Vaccinated Requirement
 

Flying with American Airlines? Get your vaccine card ready.

On Thursday, the Fort Worth-based carrier announced that it’s adding a vaccine passport capability to its health passport mobile app, Verifly. Flyers can now securely upload their CDC vaccination card before a trip, which will then be verified and processed before departure.

A customer may be required by a local destination to have proof of a COVID-19 immunization. American will confirm the customer has documents required by their destination’s local government before they board the plane.

This will ensure there are no falsified vaccine credentials on any AA flights.

As AA is based in Texas, it follows Texas law.

As countries continue to set standards for COVID-19 vaccination requirements, VeriFLY will integrate those standards into its verification processes.

So, I guess this is the beginning.......

Wonder how long before everyone else does it?

Sounds like a joke. Just another excuse for me to stay home. I suppose each state will eventually have it's own passport/ID papers that you have to show upon entering their state. Can't wait.
On the other hand, went to Walmart yesterday and there was no mask sign and very few folks are wearing a mask now. Works for me. Now, if they can just find a better way for those big shoppers carts to stay out of the way and still manage to shop for those too scared to enter the store. Glad to see folks employed though, so I wish them well. Retirement is great, because delays and holdups in my shopping no longer bothers me. No other place that I have to be in a hurry.
Airlines want proof of vaccination? How about proof of booster shots? Don't worry folks, you can still get on the plane with the Flu.

I am reading bad reviews of the VeriFLY app.

This is offered as a convenience by AA. Good!

I’m against the vaccine passport thing - this seems like a convenience if your destination requires vaccines (i.e. the EU). It’s not a requirement to fly AA.

Ill bet some Caribbean islands will require vaccines soon.

I am very much in favor of having a proof of vaccination and people being required to have one to fly. I just don't want the verification to be in the form of an app. Why does everything have to be through an app. I am not surgically attached to my phone. How about we just get a government issued verification card similar to a drivers license, or better yet the verification can be linked to ones TSA pre-check account?

Great in theory, but not everyone has TSA pre-check. And consider the logistical nightmare of getting 330 million cards out there? Just when the last person gets his/hers, then the boosters will come along. Then you have all the problems that come along with a "vaccine passport"---4th amendment rights, HIPPA, those who are allergic, religious objectors, etc.

To easy to loose a card so maybe a special tattoo or mark will do in future with all records available.

Good point, I saw on the news last night that Moderna is working on a booster that could possibly be available as soon as September.

You mean something like this?

It’s just a convenient way to travel to a country that requires visitors be vaccinated. It’s not American Airlines requiring the proof of vaccination. It has nothing to do with domestic flights.

Exactly..............be careful what you wish for.................

Never mind proof of vaccine. How about proof for Antibodies? The vaccine gives a false sense of protection. Know if you have Antibodies your immune system is working to protect you. Personally it is each persons right to vaccinate or not.

It’s not a vaccination, they are taking your DNA for those recently spotted alien aircraft......lmao

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? You're okay with having to present your papers however you don't like the method that they're presented? That's where you make the stand?

I'm so disappointed that you and every American who is okay with surrendering health information to private companies on governmental request or company request is okay with it. That just shows you how far we've come and how far we've slid. All the people that fought for our freedom and the revolutionary war would have blood in their eyes knowing this. We aren't asked to die on a battlefield All we have to do is take a stand over stupid stuff like this and we pansie out and justify it. Accepting his requirements is wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

This is starting to remind me of something I learned in history class --- vee must show das papers, or off to das showers!!!

Guess that is why they don't like history being taught.

Vaccine Cards are important but Voter ID isn't???

Bar code on the back of your neck. That way we can pass through a scanner and needed "verifications" would show and no more paper stuff.

If you want to travel and there is a vaccination requirement at your destination the carrier is usually required to verify that you have had your shots before boarding you. It has been this way for decades. It only became a political issue when people politicized an infectious disease when COVID19 assaulted humanity. It is not difficult, if you want to travel to “E” and they require a vaccination for for COVID19, yellow fever or whatever; get the shot & show the proof, or don’t go. With every freedom come a responsibility. If you want the freedom to travel, you are responsible for meeting the host’s requirements.

Unconstitutional. Let the lawsuits begin.

Funny, they are not stopping all the illegal aliens for a vac card to enter the US or get on a bus or plane as they are being distributed to 48 states. Credible reports are they are not being tested and have 10 times the number of positive cases.

Are you a constitutional law expert? (Like a former POTUS:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:)

I think it will be up to the SCOTUS to determine if such a policy violates the 4th amendment.

Yes you can upload your report card, but it's not legally required for travel in the US, the important word is travel in the US, however, is still required for many countries outside of the US. PS did you know the government as a master health file on you whether you've gotten vaccinated or not? It's true.

You mean like the sign of the beast ?

Learn to speak German and do the goose step it’s all but hear

Astron, you are absolutely correct. AA does NOT require it.period! There is no requirement by AA. This is how screwed up we’ve become. Look at the comments on this topic — Really? This would be National News by ALL the networks if even hinted at by airlines.

I keep my vaccine card in my passport, and I keep that in my suitcase. It’s no harder to lose a passport than to lose a vaccine card. I never fly without my passport, so I never fly without my vaccine card. Proof of vaccination should be required to ride on public transport, especially planes and cruise ships, and at sporting events. Just as an ID should be required in order to vote or fly.

If you were a Member of the Unique Travel Club you could skip the crowds and never fly with Strangers again! No more long hours spent in crowded Terminals checking in luggage, going through TSA security screening, waiting to board, waiting to pick up luggage, having to catch a connecting flight or having your connecting flight canceled. You could park close to the Plane, enter thru a Private Entrance, hand any luggage you may have to the Pilot, Board the Plane and depart in minutes. Instead of the long drive to Orlando you could fly out of the Leesburg Airport just minutes away from The Villages.

Really?!?

So you don’t trust the science of the vaccine? Your theory is interesting, that at least if you test positive, ya know it was from someone who was vaccinated

This picture is devastating to most of us. I hate to see it used in a debate on vaccine. No one was forced to get it. It was free. If private companies want to make rules on it, that is their choice.

I am beginning to be a little selfish. Me and mine are vaccinated. I can't run other people's railroads. Or change anyone elses mind. I am so glad to call SAFE, on my family and friends.

Tattoo? With every vaccine? I’m against tattoos 😂

Tattoes
 

Maybe they can tattoo you every time you get an inoculation, p for pneumonia, s for shingles, f for flu, c for covid. And they should do it on your forehead so everyone can be forewarned about how inoculated you are.

In the latter portion of my life, I try to live by the KISS mantra. And not to worry much on matters that really do not affect me or mine, or things I cannot control. Good for the nerves, the B/P, and life in general.

I keep my VAX card in my wallet, if anyone requests it - I would show it to them. Taking 6 leg of flights in 2 weeks on SWA. If anyone of authority asks, I show. No big deal. And IF SWA still has the 'mask on except between bites&sips'...I will be biting and sipping veeeeeery often.

No, nothing like that.

Why? Don't those who got the shot believe it works for them? If you got the shot, you should be able to walk amongst a concert hall full of infected people.

Or is it really about control?

LOL - good observation.

Microchip in the COVID shot! Yep!

Oh come on.....its not really giving up your medical record....its a yes or no answer. And they have every right to ask it. If I owned a cruise ship...hell no you are not getting on without the shot. End of story.
