The Telegraph is this morning reporting that British travellers who have had the coronavirus vaccine could have their passports stamped to help avoid being held up at borders when they travel.
The Department for Transport (DfT) are understood to be considering the stamps to offer a boost to the tourism and aviation industries by offering travellers a degree of certainty when planning overseas holidays.
Airlines have already started to look at ways of requesting passengers are vaccinated against coronavirus before they are allowed to board their planes with Qantas expected to be the first airline to bring in the rule.
Conservative MP James Sunderland told The Telegraph: “Pets need a vaccination passport when travelling between the UK and Europe and this would be a fantastic way of ensuring freedom of movement for people too.
“We must do everything possible to boost the economy by re-opening our travel, hospitality, leisure and business sectors and how fantastic would it be to have our planes, trains and boats full again.
“A vaccination stamp is simple, would save all the hassle at either end and really boost confidence.”
