Currently 19 EU countries, including France, Spain and Greece, have unilaterally agreed to accept the NHS Covid pass as proof of vaccination.
But an EU-wide agreement to accept the NHS certificate as the equivalent of the EU’s own digital Covid-19 certificate will further boost confidence in travel to the continent by removing confusion about which countries will accept the NHS Covid Pass.
Sources in both the UK and at the European Commission in Brussels have told The Guardian that an agreement could be reached “shortly” – possibly by the end of September.
