Brits will use COVID-19 vaccine passports to go on holiday in future, PM suggests

BRITS are set to be told they will need a vaccine passport to go on holiday in the future, Boris Johnson suggested on Thursday.

The PM is due to update the nation on vaccine passports and international travel on Monday.

More than half the adult population have had their first vaccine, and ministers are looking at the role the passports could play in future.

Speaking at a B&Q in Middlesbrough today, Mr Johnson said: "There's definitely going to be a world in which international travel will use vaccine passports.

"You can see already that other countries, the aviation industry, are interested in this and there's a logic to that."

Michael Gove is conducting a review into the idea at the moment, and the PM has said he will give an update on Monday.

At the moment going on holiday is illegal - and travelling abroad without a valid reason in England could land you a fine of £5,000.

Everyone who does go abroad has to fill in the correct paperwork - or they will face a £200 fine.

Funny. Conspiracy theorists predicted this.

[julianclark]

First, they give you a COVID passport which contains a few details, then, as the power of the state grows, they issue passports for everyone to include all the information they have about you on it. In the end everyone a complete dossier of your personal details and requited to produce it whenever demanded by a representative of the State . The ability to produce all the information already exists but can you call yourself a "freeman" if this is required of you?

Please can he remain at B&Q permanently.
