Allow vaccinated Britons to enter the UK without paid-testing and isolation

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want Her Majesty’s government to commit to recognising British nationals living abroad as fully-vaccinated.

Parliament should also consider removing paid-testing, as it discriminates heavily against those who cannot afford to return home.
Her Majesty’s Government should consider how isolated, measures such as this, can make an individual and many families across the UK feel.

It is absolutely paramount that parliament considers how they will honour vaccines that are administered outside of British territory, in order to safeguard ex-pats’ rights throughout the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
