Recognise Hong Kong vaccination programme using Phizer BioNtech for travel

Closed 38 signatures

What the petition asks

Add Hong Kong to the list of approved vaccination programmes in the UK to allow travellers to enter the UK without a PCR test or the need to quarantine.
17 more countries were added to the list of approved vaccination programmes in the UK. Hong Kong, despite Phizer BioNtech being the main vaccine like many other Asian countries, has been skipped from the list for no apparent reason. This is even more damning considering the low COVID-incidence rate in Hong Kong. Many people in Hong Kong are also residents of the UK, so the failure to recognise the vaccination programme will cause difficulty for many residents wishing to return home.
