What is "vaccine tourism" and which European travel companies are offering this service?

Covid-19 has given birth to a new kind of tourism. Vaccine tourism, where travelers go abroad to get the vaccine, is being offered by tour operators across Europe.
Is it legal to travel to another country to be vaccinated? Are tour operators allowed to offer these types of trips? And with millions around the world waiting to be vaccinated, will locals lose the vaccine because supplies have been used by foreign tourists?
Norwegians can travel to Russia to be vaccinated r
Norwegian travel agency World Visitor is offering the opportunity to be vaccinated in Russia. Customers, who can choose one of the many travel packages, all of which include receiving the Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine.
For € 1,199 you can make two trips in one month, one for each dose. For € 2,999, customers can enjoy a luxurious 22-day stay at a Russian health resort, in order to receive both doses.
A third option involves a trip to a hotel in Turkey, which will soon be equipped with a vaccination center.
Travel from Germany and Austria
The German travel agency Fit Reisen (or "Fit Travel") started offering "vaccine holidays" or "Impfreisen" in February this year.
"We have received a growing number of customer inquiries as to whether it would not be possible to combine a health holiday with a Covid-19 vaccine," a Fit Reisen spokesman told Deutsche Welle.
Meanwhile, Austrian company Impfreisen.at is offering non-binding pre-bookings for a variety of comprehensive travel packages with "guaranteed access to anti-Covid vaccination".
Do governments support vaccine tourism?
Although there have been reports that vaccination with Sputnik V may be at the heart of a tourism program, starting this July, the Russian government has not officially given the green light for tourists to fly to get the vaccine there.
Rusia po punon në një program për t'u ofruar njerëzve jashtë vendit mundësinë për t'u vaksinuar kundër Covid-19 në Rusi me Sputnik V , duke nisur nga korriku.
Rusia deri më tani ka qenë skeptike për fillimin e një programi të tillë. Zëdhënësi i Kremlinit Dmitry Peskov ka pranuar se do të ishte diçka që qeveria do ta merrte në konsideratë, megjithëse qytetarët janë "përparësia absolute".
Ndërkohë, zërat për udhëtime vaksinimi për turistët nga Turqia në Serbi janë mohuar nga ambasadori turk në Beograd dhe ambasada e Serbisë në Ankara.
A është i ligjshëm turizmi i vaksinave?
Aktualisht, nuk ka ndonjë rregullim zyrtar të vendosur për të siguruar që vizitorët e huaj të marrin vaksinën për të cilën kanë udhëtuar.
Disa vende po e bëjnë të qartë se turistët e vaksinave nuk janë të mirëpritur. Në Mbretërinë e Bashkuar, për shembull, ju mund të merrni vaksinën vetëm përmes sistemit të shëndetit publik dhe duhet të prisni derisa mjeku juaj t'ju ofrojë atë. Në takim, duhet të konfirmoni detajet personale, siç është adresa e shtëpisë tuaj. Mund të ndodhë që vendet e tjera të vendosin masa të tilla.
Sa etik është turizmi i vaksinave?
Turizmi i vaksinave mund të kontribuojë drejt qëllimit të përbashkët për t'i dhënë fund pandemisë së koronavirusit. Por, ndërsa pjesa më e madhe e botës ende pret për vaksinën, a është e drejtë që ata që kanë mundësi financiare mund ta bëjnë gjatë pushimeve dhe në një shtet tjetër?
But for populations in the developing world, vaccine tourism may slow down the already anxious wait for vaccine doses to arrive. Some richer countries have begun to monopolize the global effort, accumulating surplus vaccines. People jumping in line through vaccine tourism are likely to exacerbate the problem.
