More airlines are expected to announce the same restrictions. I realize they are a private company and can enact any rules they want. Still, it seems like overstepping. The vaccine is in its infancy.
Expect more airlines to follow suit. Guess I won't be flying anytime soon. That's allright. I'll travel the US in my car. Lots of places I haven't seen.
Anyone getting a vaccine - don't lose the paperwork. Put paperwork about your vaccine in a safe place and make copies. Learn how to get electronic proof too.

There's no such thing as "overstepping" when it comes to property rights.
Do as I say on my property, do as you say on your property.
Taxpayers bailed out the airline industry in this country. We still subsidize the industry, if not the individual airlines.
Taxpayers pay for Air Traffic Control Towers
Taxpayers subsidize airports and airport maintenance
Taxpayers subsidize air travel to non-profitable rural communities nationwide
Taxpayers pay for airport security
Taxpayers pay for some airport management
So while Qantas can do whatever it wants, imho, American airline companies should not have the right to require vaccines unless they move to complete autonomy. As long as we're being forced to fund their ability to do business, they're not a private company and shouldn't be allowed discriminate.
Of course, we all know how that plays out in real life.
Hopefully this indicates there is light at the end of the tunnel, and we’ll be able to travel internationally soon. I had a whole bunch of foreign trips cancelled during this period, and I’m eager to start again.
