“What is a recognised vaccine,Mr. Craig? Russian vaccine is not a recognised vaccine? According to our criteria,only Chinese and Russian are recognised. The libertarian world has 90 per cent of the world’s population. For us,it is Russian and Chinese. Recognise them along with your vaccine. I don’t think that’s right,because you don’t recognise Russian and Chinese,” he said.
“... Not accepting this or that vaccine is ridiculous,not to say another word. We will never divide vaccines or peoples wherever anyone comes from. We are part of the world and vaccines are part of the world wherever they come from. They all made vaccines to help this world,but whoever does not accept to be vaccinated,that is his personal right.”
According to the TGA,Australia has approved the Pfizer,AstraZeneca,Moderna and Janssen vaccines for use in the population here. Sinovac and Sinopharm are among four other vaccines that are recognised for the purposes of international travel to Australia.
Srjdan Djokovic also dismissed the idea of hotel quarantine,which had previously been suggested as an option for unvaccinated players but has since beenruled out by Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews.
“Quarantine,right,but one should spend 14 days in a hotel room and not even come out in the hotel lobby. Well,they came up with a great idea,let them play in the tournament then,” Srdjan Djokovic said.
