Travel: Coronavirus
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress he has made on enabling access to NHS Covid Recovery Certificates for children under 16, who have recovered from covid-19 in the previous 90 days, and require evidence of recovery to travel internationally.
- Answer
-
There are no plans to provide certificates for children under 16 years old to show evidence of their recent recovery from COVID-19 for travel purposes. No countries recognise natural immunity as an exclusive qualifier for relaxed border measures. Where natural immunity is recognised, vaccination and/or testing are also accepted. Many countries exempt under 18 year olds from proof of vaccination status or accept test results instead of vaccination.
We are looking at ways for children aged 12 years old and over with two vaccinations to demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel.
