Citizens of a score of nations may need to be vaccinated in order to visit Selucia in the near future, according to the Minister of Health, Romina Caspia, in a television interview.
Asked about her position on vaccines, the minister has declared that she has no intention of changing the legislation in force for centuries by which all citizens of Selucia must be vaccinated against certain diseases and microorganisms.
"What seems to be incredible is that even in the 46th century, there are still people who really think that vaccines are going to have really harmful effects on our body, beyond those that occur in response to our own body against the invading agent. Anti-vaccination studies have been dismantled, one after the other, as farces that all they want is to feed the population's fear and hinder progress. This government will not enter into that game, and therefore we support the actions of the government of Alduria , although it is true that the words and qualifications used to refer, not as a citizen but as a member of a government, by the Minister of Tourism of Alduria are, at least, unfortunate. "
The minister said that although she respects the legislative decisions of each country, she believes that the citizens of Selucia do not have to suffer the consequences.
"It is important to understand that, for our part, there is no problem in which each government decides what it deems appropriate to legislate on the medical system, but we believe that health is not something to play with and therefore, although we can not change other country's legislation to protect the health of their citizens, we will act to protect the health of our own citizens, so it is important to announce that, in a short time, this government intends to impose measures to restrict or control the entry of tourists or citizens from nations that do not have adequate legislation on the subject of vaccines, and if they want to access our territory, they must accept vaccination of what this government deems necessary to not put our citizens' health at risk. "
For the minister, an "adequate vaccination" refers to the governments of each country making it mandatory to vaccinate their citizens, while any other legislation is "inefficient". According to these standards, a total of up to 20 nations could be affected by the new measures.
Although citizens of those nations that are vaccinated will not notice any significant change, those who are not vaccinated should choose between getting vaccinated against certain diseases or not being able to enter the country.
the minister said,"We understand that some people may find these measures extreme, and that this may affect tourism in our nation, one of the great pillars of the national economy,"
"but health comes first."
But what nations could be affected? According to the legislation of the nations in Terra, the citizens of Endralon would not be able to enter the country, because their government has prohibited by law the use of vaccines. The other 19 nations depend on whether their citizens are vaccinated or will not be able to access Selucia easier or harder. They are the following: Barmenia, Canrille, Dankuk, Deltaria, Dundorf, Egelion, Hobrazia, Kalistan, Kalopia, Keymon, Kirlawa, Malivia, Narikaton, Rildanor, Saridan, Solentia, Talmoria, Trigunia and Tukarali.
