Interesting point, though the person asking the question didn't bring up new strains/mutations explicitly. Below is the exact question: "I'm particularly interested in your views on how you think the vaccine will work in the context of elimination. Because countries in my home patch, of course, in the Asia-Pacific, have done very well. And, hence, community transmission rates are very low, to the point where some have eliminated. But what does that mean for, in the long-term, where people are vaccinated overseas? Does that ensure that they are not a risk travelling to countries that have almost zero community transmission? Or do you think that people who have been vaccinated will still need to quarantine if they're going to countries that have low transmission?"
