Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Covishield covid-19 vaccine will be recognised by the Government for the purposes of inbound international travel.

There are a large variety of COVID-19 vaccines being administered worldwide. Work is ongoing to determine which non-United Kingdom (UK) administered vaccines we might be confident to recognise, including AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines branded as Covishield. We want to welcome international visitors back to the UK and are working to extend our approach to vaccinated passengers from key holiday destinations.
