What the petition asks
Visitors from India who have been fully vaccinated should be recognised as so. India should be added to the UK's list of recognised vaccination programmes. The vaccine in India is identical to the UK. India has a reliable and digitally auditable tracking system of vaccination.
The Government must set out why India has not been included in the list of approved vaccine programmes. Many Indian Nationals have expressed surprise at this discriminatory decision by the government. The Government must support their decision with robust scientific rationale or else add India to the list of approved programmes. Quarantining for 10 days places an unnecessary, significant and expensive burden on visitors.
