Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans the Government has to recognise covid-19 vaccines administered to UK nationals who are living or resident overseas; and if he will make statement.

Individuals, including United Kingdom nationals living overseas, vaccinated in over 100 countries and territories who have had a full course of the Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen vaccines from a relevant public health body are now recognised in the same way as returning fully vaccinated UK residents if they have not visited a ‘red list’ country or territory in the 10 days before arriving in England. We continue to work to expand the list of countries and territories whose vaccine certificates are recognised.
