460. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Health if UK residents will be allowed to travel home once they have been fully vaccinated; if there will be guidelines on travel for such persons who have been vaccinated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3435/21]
View answerIt is not yet understood whether available vaccines prevent vaccinated persons from being infected or transmitting the disease to others. As such, the impact vaccinations will have on travel policies internationally is yet to be determined. The WHO has continues to caution governments against introducing immunity passports at this time. The Government gives continuing consideration to travel policy informed by the epidemiological situation internationally and public health advice.
