Allow fully vaccinated abroad Brits to be treated as those vaccinated by the NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Please allow fully vaccinated British citizens and their families residing abroad and therefore vaccinated abroad to travel to the UK from the amber-listed countries without a need of self-isolation just like the British citizens vaccinated by the NHS returning from holidays.
It is so discriminatory that only people vaccinated by the NHS are allowed to come back from their holidays in the amber-listed countries without self-isolation, while the very same British citizens who got their vaccines in Europe still have to isolate. What is the difference between the vaccine administered by the NHS and the one administered in France? We have our vaccination certificate, we have our families in the UK and would like to be treated equally like all Brits.
