What the petition asks
The UK Government should recognise all vaccinations using WHO approved vaccines for travellers arriving from amber list countries, regardless of the country it was administered in. Currently they only recognise NHS administered vaccinations plus ones from the EU and US.
I, like many other British people, live in a country outside the EU. I have been give 2 doses of the BioTech (Pfizer) vaccination in Turkey and have a Covid Card with a QR code to prove this. However, if Turkey is moved onto the amber list we will still have to self isolate for 10 days when returning to the UK. I feel this is discriminatory and unnecessary and I would like this to be reviewed and fully accepted by the UK government, regardless of the country in which it was administered.
