Two-thirds of Britons would be prepared to take an approved Covid vaccine if it meant they could travel internationally, new research has shown.

A study of 2,000 UK adults between 24 and 26 November by Opinium Research found 65% would take a vaccine that had passed “all necessary tests”.

The poll, for travel insurance firm battleface, also found only 29% were “likely” to travel in early 2021. However, this figure increased to 44% from July next year onwards. 

Among those planning to travel, there was a heavy majority – 78% – of those opting to travel within Europe. Among the 22% planning to go outside Europe, the US and Australia were the most popular choices.
