A Downing Street spokesperson has confirmed the government is considering plans to allow double-vaccinated people to avoid quarantine when travelling back from amber list countries are being considered with an announcement on the plan due next week.
Commenting on the proposals, Professor Robert West, a health psychologist the plans could cause “resentment” and the problems associated with allowing people who have both jabs to benefit from an exemption “outweigh the potential benefits”.
Speaking to Times Radio Professor West said: “The most serious problem is that if you have a situation where not everyone has been even offered the vaccine then you’ve already got clearly a huge unfairness.
“When you get unfairness in situations like this, you get resentment and when you get resentment you can get loss of compliance.”
