Rejected

What the petition asks
Government policy is inconsistent. EU vaccinations are recognised for travel to the UK but not for exemption from self-isolation by NHS Test and Trace.
Recognise EU COVID Vaccination Certificate as confirmation of full vaccination status for NHS Test and Trace exemption from self isolation
Recognise EU COVID Vaccination Certificate as confirmation of full vaccination status for NHS Test and Trace exemption from self isolation
Government policy is inconsistent. EU vaccinations are recognised for travel to the UK but not for exemption from self-isolation by NHS Test and Trace. There is no medical justification as the vaccinations used in EU and UK are the same. The EU has recognised the UK NHS vaccination certification as equivalent to the EU COVID vaccination certificate.
