British holidaymakers are set to be allowed to travel to Europe using “vaccine passports”.
European Union ambassadors are expected to sign off on a plan allowing fully vaccinated Britons to fly to Europe without being required to have a Covid test or quarantine, the Daily Telegraph reported.

EU member states would then adopt uniform entry requirements that would give fully vaccinated tourists from low-risk countries such as the UK unrestricted entry to France, Spain, Italy and other popular holiday spots.
Member states would also be recommended to prepare digital portals that will enable Britons to use the NHS app as a vaccine passport. Those without vaccinations would have to present a negative Covid test or evidence of immunity.
