Millions of Brits Excluded from New E.U. Vaccine Passport Scheme
The European Union’s new vaccine passport scheme – the “E.U. digital Covid Certificate” – has been launched following recent trials, and it’s not just the unvaccinated who don’t qualify. Up to five million vaccinated Brits, and many others across the world, could be denied European holidays because their vaccines are not recognised by the scheme. The Telegraph has the story.
Millions of vaccines administered here do not qualify for the European Union’s vaccine passport scheme, because the shots were manufactured in India and are not yet authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The hitch could leave thousands of Britons turned away at E.U. border crossings when the batch numbers on their vaccines are checked digitally.
The E.U. Digital Covid Certificate… is designed to allow Covid-secure travel across the continent but does not recognise a version of the AstraZeneca vaccine called Covishield, produced by the Serum Institute of India (SII), because it is yet to receive approval in Europe.
Up to five million doses of this version of the vaccine have been administered in the U.K. and are identifiable by the vaccine batch numbers (4120Z001, 4120Z002, 4120Z003) included on recipients’ vaccine cards and in the Covid travel pass available via the NHS app.
The E.U. ruling has already sparked outrage in Asia and Africa, where the Indian manufactured shot – which forms the backbone of the Covax distribution scheme – has been widely used. Now, some British holidaymakers may find themselves similarly excluded.
The Telegraph has traced three Britons affected, none of whom were told in advance they were to receive the Indian version of the AstraZeneca vaccine. All received their shots of the SII vaccine in March. …
The E.U. Digital Covid Certificate allows those who are fully vaccinated, recently tested or recovered from Covid to move across borders within the E.U. without having to quarantine or undergo extra coronavirus tests upon arrival.
But only vaccines approved by the EMA are included, though individual member states are free to accept other vaccines if they choose.
The EMA approved vaccines are Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and the version of the AstraZeneca vaccine manufactured in the U.K. or Europe, which is sold under the brand name Vaxzevria. …
The E.U. vaccine passport will soon integrate with the Covid travel pass on the NHS app. By scanning a QR code, the E.U. system pulls up information including the traveller’s name, date of birth and vaccine details, including batch numbers.

Stop Press: Professor Adam Finn from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation says this is merely an “administrative hurdle” that needs to be “straightened out”. He was quoted by Sky News in its coverage of the story:
We’re in the early days of this new world of needed vaccine passports and there are lots of aspects of this that are still being sorted out for the first time.
But it’s clearly, ultimately not in anyone’s interest, including the E.U., to create hurdles that don’t need to be there. …
I would anticipate that this will get straightened out in due course.

So the EU won’t let anyone in who has not been jabbed or willing to undergo multiple tests. That’s my summer hols cancelled for next year then, though I’d be surprised if TUI are still in business by then after a second torrid year
It’s as if these clowns really think having a vacc passport would have stopped SARS-COV2 spreading around the world in 2019/20
Hopefully legal cases will roll out to have this declared discriminatory and certainly against the Nuremberg Code and Council of Europe declaration
“It’s as if these clowns really think having a vacc passport would have stopped SARS-COV2 spreading around the world in 2019/20” Some of the more naive politicians might, probably the backbench sheep MPs, but SAGE, Whitty, Vallance and probably the cabinet know very well that it’s just useful theatre.
That is a good point, once the pandemic is out there then you cannot stop it.
Vaccination passports protect no one other than those who would prefer the risk of Covid to the risk of the vaccine. They are pure evil.
huh?
Huh indeed lol! It’s no the wonder we are closing in on being a fully vaxxed nation! I suspect the word ‘evil’ triggers a curious Pavlovian up-tick response irrespective of the rest of the comment.
Never mind, have an up-vote of your own; not that it will get you out of the red.
I’m not 100% what the “huh” referred to but I suspect it was more this sentence: “Vaccination passports protect no one other than those who would prefer the risk of Covid to the risk of the vaccine. ” Probably the point is that vaccination passports don’t protect anyone. But I may be wrong.
Logically, what else could ‘huh?’ be referring to? Likewise my respose was clearly referencing that same sentence, and like MAk not quoting it as it seemed unnecessary given the disconnect is so glaring.
Reconnecting both ends, what this sentence effectively says is:
‘Vaccination passports protect no one other than (that group of people who have chosen not to have the jab, because they are the group of people) who would prefer the risk of Covid to the risk of the vaccine.’
Now, tell me how a vaccine passport is going to protect the unvaxxed, given they can’t legally obtain a vaccine passport?
Of course I could think of a surreal but torturous Chesterton-esque explanation to this conundrum, but I don’t think this was the intention.
But, as you would say, I may be wrong
Do you mean the vaccine passports are pure evil?
Lol, this is quite funny. I’ll probably soon be told that I need to start travelling for work again but I don’t particularly want the vaccine. Aside from the obvious reasons not to line up and go first, I told people at work that some countries wouldn’t accept certain brands and that that was another good reason not to rush in, even if you believe the products to be safe. Did they listen? No.
None of my colleagues listened to anything I said, back in March 2020. Pointing out such things as the death toll being totally normal for a bad flu season earned me the title of “conspiracy theorist”.
My husband is one of those who received the Indian vaccine. He’s very confident it will all be sorted out but it makes me feel rather smug as travel seemed to be the main reason why he got vaccinated. At least he can’t complain that my refusenik status is what is preventing him travelling abroad.
Ergh no even if a smug double-jabber… it doesn’t end well on return to Blighty currently….

The reason is of course the ZERO CARBON agenda….break the ongoing bad habits of Brits still wishing to fly… till by 2030 only three UK airports remain. LHR, GLA and BFS…
Private jet travel continues to boom…
Kat, same situation for me. Hubby fully vaccinated, I’m not and have no intention of doing so. I do believe he’s feeling duped but wont admit that he’s been played like a fool.
“Conspiracy theorist” = “shut up, we’re not listening.”
I was called that, and compared to Hitler.
I, too, actually laughed when I read this. Mind you, a lot of unlikely things set me off these days. And no, people don’t want to listen. Sometimes it’s good to do actually do nothing, and watch as it all goes t*ts up.
That is precisely my family’s strategy.
Napoleon’s definition of a military genius: “The man who can do the average thing when everyone else around him is losing his mind.”
He also said “Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.”
It’s like talking to your dog. They can hear you but are not listening.
“not just the unvaccinated” Ah, so if it was JUST the unvaccinated that would be OK would it? Let’s rewrite the headline “EU vaccine passport scheme is futile and morally wrong, should be scrapped immediately and all covid-related restrictions on international travel lifted”.
So have I got this correct?
By refusing an untested vaccine but accepting the risk of catching a low mortality respiratory virus, and then catching and recovering from it I am now immune to the disease with no long-term risk of side-effects, but am unable to travel abroad…
whereas…
People who chose to have the untested vaccine have an unknown risk of long-term side-effects, and may already be suffering short-term side-effects, and despite all of that, may yet still catch the virus, are also unable to travel abroad.
And I’m the stupid one?
Yep, that’s my reasoning too. In fact I’d even go as far as having an independent antigen test to check my immunity as I, and many many others had this thing, before it even became a thing!
Same here. But that was why they banned the antibody tests and stopped all talk of T-cell immunity, even going so far as to threaten to shut down the pharmacy I had mine at if they didn’t comply. They are all monsters – those of us with natural immunity must stay strong.
Yes you are, now call 119, roll your sleeve up, take a selfie, update your Facebook status and get with the goddamn programme, slave!
Welcome to the 21st Century. 👍
So we get to test the legal system of the EU. Good job we left the EU, I wouldnt want my country to be part of this evil.
I dont hold out too much hope that the law will hold. The Nuremburg code was created imo mostly to warn us when evil was afoot. The courts are compromised, they wouldnt have moved ahead with this evil unless they could be sure that they would get the right result there.
We can tell by the speed that this thing is happening that work has been underway on this for a long time. More confirmation that the whole covid pandemic was a preplanned scam. Tony Blair telling us it was inevitable was sort of true, because it was already.
If we and the people of the EU let this stand, all of our futures are very dark. This certainly isnt the last step into darkness.
“Your country” is part of this evil. They’re hooking up the NHS app to the EU vax passport scheme.
How much more abuse do you need to get from the UK government to realise that the EU, the UK government, it’s all the same sh*t. Or perhaps not. At least EU citizens are able to travel away from the EU and aren’t forced into quarantine and a battery of pointless tests on their return.
Professor Adam Finn. Did you vote for him? No? Well apparently he’s one of the cretins creating this new world and telling you that you now need a vaccine passport to travel. There’s taking back control for you.
“My family and I are in the scientific control group – we have not had the vaccine.”
“OK, sir, madam, young lady, young man – yours is the very short queue over there. Enjoy your stay in our country.”

I don’t know if that’s Buffett. I’m not sure what he thinks about covid. He’s a shrewd man, but then again he gave most of his billions to the Gates Foundation. If I had to guess I would say Charlie Munger is more of a sceptic.
Charlie Munger is a personal hero. As is/was Jack Bogle (RIP).
Buffett is very smart, likeable and has that homespun charm, but Munger always seemed to me like the slightly sharper of the two, and his simple, clear messages about how best to approach your life are just tremendous, and people would do well to follow them. I know less about Bogle. I wish Munger had spoken against lockdowns but as far as I am aware he didn’t. His is the kind of rational, calm persona we need on our side.
Couldn’t care less… If they don’t want our money, let the EU go bankrupt. Oh hang on, it already is!
Bureaucrats… Don’t you just love ’em. They really know how to destroy and never create (other than creating yet more bureaucrats).
Off to the US free states it is then…
Well, consider those many UK residents with close friends and family in the EU and other countries, or those who need to travel for work.
Why?
Because for them, travel is in the case of work a necessity and in the case of close family ties if not a physical necessity than a spiritual one. I’m against all restrictions and think people should be able to go on holiday when and where they want, but for me the burden of not being able to go to Spain for some sunshine is less than not seeing for example a relative who may be dying, missing grandchildren growing up – bear in mind these restrictions may well last many years.
Hold on a minute before you apply for residency. I’ve been watching this talk by an American MD
GMO’s: engineering the nature out of humanity. May 2021.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9aoLmWJ-A
The friends who found it said ‘omit the first 30 mins’. The rest is essential but rather grim watching. He discusses the steep rise in autoimmune diseases already occurring, i.e. from causes other than untested Vs. He doesn’t think the human race will be viable by ~2050, given its declining reproductive health. Well, if true, that solves the overpopulation problem …
Does the US attitude to GM crops and the extra glyphosate used on them explain why it has almost the shortest lifespan of any developed country?
This is what it’s all about; recreational travel is being gradually withdrawn from us all (whether vaccinated or not). Arbitrary and ever-changing rules will make travel first extremely difficult, to dissuade most people from even attempting it, then gradually, as the smaller airlines collapse, it will become the preserve of only the extremely wealthy (as it has been throughout the ‘pandemic’). Welcome to the New Normal.
And all backed up with the climate emergency junk and a topping of “terrorist threats.”
This story would be funny if it wasn’t the harbinger of technocratic totalitarianism.
It was always the plan to decimate the airline industry on the altar of climate change. Why people can’t see this is simply beyond me. This has never been about a virus.
Wait until the US announces that ALL AZ vaxxed will be treated similar to the unvaxxed when applying for entry and various accesses….
Of course, everyone should be treated the same and no one be discriminated, also meaning subjected to a (useless anyway)test, or to a different quarantine regimen.
But then, that would be the ethically AND medically correct way of doung things.
And we all know that this never was, is or will be an option or goal.
In animal health, where we have dealt with infectious diseases forever, we only require vaccination/antibody testing/quarantine when animals move from an endemic area to a naive area. Testing can only be done by a handful of accredited labs, not every Tom, Dick & Harry. There is free movement of pets & livestock between endemic areas.
Maybe the veterinary health officials have more brains than the public health officials?
Brains are not the issue. It’s about honesty, professional integrity, courage.
The bloody animals have more brains than the public health officials.
They should rename it the European Luddites Union
It’s so backward I’m surprised it hasn’t fallen over under its own weight.
Forgive my cynicism, but after initially checking my own vaccination records, I see that my first dose of the AZ vaccine had a prefix of “AB” and the second had the prefix “PW”. This supposed “news story” smacks of the mRNA vaccine manufacturers trying to drive people away from the AZ vaccine. (I appreciate that all the vaccines have significant potential for harm, and I was reluctant to accept my jab, but accepted the invitation on the basis that future travel plans etc. might depend on my willingness to cave in. Sorry!)
Unfortunately, you were duped. It’s nearly akin to a giant game of monopoly – go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Sadly, it’s going to take more than throwing a double dice to get out. A hefty payment is required in the form of ongoing compliance with multi injections, test and trace regimes etc etc etc
All this fuss given the Absolute Risk Reduction of the jollop.
Chilly today, pass me my cardiomyopathy.
Your teens deserve a holiday, whatever the cost.
Doctor: Good morning Mrs Extremely-Gullible, I have some bad news and some good news.
Mrs E-G: Oh yes?
Doctor: The bad news is that I’m afraid you have contracted Guillain-Barré syndrome after taking the jab. That means you will be unable to go on holiday to Spain.
Mrs E-G: Oh dear… And the good news?
Doctor: It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, as the EU isn’t granting visas for your type of vaccine.
That made me laugh out loud on this dreary, wet Saturday morning. We must never lose our sense of humour. That would be intolerable.
“Professor” Adam Finn: “We’re in the early days of this new world of needed vaccine passports”
As you’re well aware, Finn, the vax does not stop infection or transmission. So the vax passports are not only not needed, they’re pointless.
Presumably you’re also advocating that they’re “needed” for children too?
You’re on the list, you fuck.
It’s truly amazing. The truth is completely ignored here and deliberately turned on its head instead, and people are brainwashed and gaslighted most successfully into accepting that biggest of the big lies, sofar. Even many sceptics, like Jens Berger at Nachdenkseiten yesterday, have swallowed that line full hook and sinker. It’s basically the inverse of masking: if masking could do anything (which I deny, of course), it was protecting a few others in some extreme situations. And that was also always the official line. But people have now just convinced themselves that it also protects them, hence they wear them when on their own in the car or forests. And that superstition was further strengthened by the CDC’s baseless mask exemption for the vaxxed. And with the gene therapies, the official and at least remotely correct line was and is always that they protect you, not others- others solely by and if herd immunity was hereby reached, which is doubtful and above all a myth anyway. But the medically baseless, divisive and discriminatory policies and messages brainwashed and gaslighted people into believing just that anyway. This DT hack, who wrote about not inviting unvaxxed to her dinner parties, and all… Read more »
There’s a man who preprepared the phrase ‘needed vaccine passports’. As if their utter necessity might be questioned!!
Ha.
Finns ain’t what they used to be.
Will this be applied to visitors crossing the Med in small boats?
No, nor the Channel either.
needed?
so why are they putting this hurdle in place then?
Take another shot slaves before it’s too late for your summer holiday!
The Indian variant strikes again
All the more reason to sign up for those booster shots eh?
How do you straighten out a hurdle?
Wait for three weeks and it will have been squashed?
Boris et al – rearrange these words ‘gives shit a Who’.

This is one of the papers cited on the CDC website as evidence that the injection “provides” reduced transmission.
Firstly, how can an injection with no killed or attenuated virus in it, reduce transmission of this virus?
Secondly, read this paper- it’s full of “ifs” “maybes” “buts” and wishful thinking.
There is no logic, no science behind this very important justification of prejudice/discrimination/apartheid against those who choose not to take this injection. It is being repeated because, the more often it is repeated, the more people believe it to be true.
Eating crusts never did give me curly hair.
Yup, my hubby and me got those batches – fabulous! Without some strong arming from the UK government, AZ will never bother to apply for EMEA approval for the Indian manufactured jabs, its too costly.
Don’t worry, the government have thought of everything. Aren’t they just wonderful? They say injections can be mixed so the frequent booster injections will be one of the mRNA type. Happy holidays, safe travels and good health.
Note, they are encouraging the flu vax to be administered at the same time as the boosters albeit in the other arm. In instances of adverse reactions, how will they know which medication was responsible? From October /November last year, they said flu vax could be given 7 / 10 / 14 days (take your pick) prior to or following Covid injections but now it will be acceptable to have both on the same day. Isn’t science wonderful? We are so fortunate…
Considering the the European Medicines Agency gave an EUA to Pfizer despite asking for and not receiving essential assurances on manufacturing process control to ensure consistence of vaccine – it is a bit rich to refuse an EUA to the Indian producers for not doing something that the applicants already awarded EUAs promised but didn’t do either.
