Video / APNew South Wales Health has revealed six overseas travellers who reported being fully vaccinated have tested positive to Covid-19 in hotel quarantine. The numbers were released in this week's NSW Health Covid-19 surveillance report as the federal government pushes forward with its vaccine passport plans. The figures raise concerns about the prospects of a vaccine passport system as Prime Minister Scott Morrison comes under increasing pressure to repatriate Australians stranded overseas. Morrison this week said his government was working on a prospective vaccine passport system, which would allow those with the jab to travel more freely. Prime minister Scott Morrison said a condition of the passport system would be proof vaccines protect against transmission.
