Qantas Airways’ latest commercial tugs at the heartstrings in the hope to encourage more Australians to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
While many other nations have opened their borders to foreign tourists, Australia’s have remained closed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020. Besides a brief period where the country created a quarantine bubble with New Zealand, most Australian residents have remained at home, missing out on time with friends and family living outside the country, as well as international family vacations. And the limitations on travel will stay this way until the country reaches an 80 percent vaccination rate, Reuters explains.
