It has been almost two years since the Australian government closed their borders to the world because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the condition is you must be double vaccinated to come to Australia.
Morrison says their definition was that people need to have a full course of a vaccine, which in most cases is two doses but some international vaccines are only one to be considered vaccinated.
For example, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine — which is approved for use in Australia — involves only one dose.
Abc.net.au reports unvaccinated travellers would still need to apply for a travel exemption to come to Australia and have to undergo hotel quarantine if they were granted permission to enter the country.
Morrison made it clear, with a reference to the recent Novak Djokovic saga, that even if people had the correct visa to enter Australia, if they were not fully vaccinated — or had an exemption — they would not be allowed to enter.
