From 22 November, COVID-19 vaccines on the WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) will be recognised by UK authorities.
As a result, Sinovac, Sinopharm Beijing and Covaxin will be added to the UK list of approved vaccines for inbound travel, benefitting more fully vaccinated people from countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and India.
Passengers who have been fully vaccinated and have received their vaccine certificate from one of over 135 approved countries and territories are not required to take a pre-departure test, day 8 test or self-isolate upon arrival. Instead, passengers will just need to pay for a lateral flow test to take before the end of their second day, post-arrival.
