More countries are starting to require travellers to be able to prove they have received the booster Covid-19 jab. But the government has yet to say when this will be included on the NHS app, despite prime minister Boris Johnson insisting that it will happen.
MPs on the House of Commons transport committee raised this issue at a hearing on the recovery of aviation from the pandemic, alongside the fact that under-16s in the UK currently cannot prove their vaccination status.
Willie Walsh, director general of airlines association Iata, told the committee hearing that many countries currently required vaccine proof for travellers aged over 12.
