To qualify as fully vaccinated, you have to have proof of full vaccination issued from either the UK or UK overseas vaccination program, the United Nations vaccine program for staff and volunteers, or one of the countries or territories listed here.
Approved vaccines
To be considered fully vaccinated, travelers must have a complete course of one of the following at least 14 days before arrival:

- Pfizer BioNTech
- Moderna
- Janssen
and from 4 am, November 22, World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) vaccines:
- Sinovac-CoronaVac
- Sinopharm Beijing

Unvaccinated travelers must follow different rules, and travelers who are coming from a red list country or territory in the last 10 days also have different restrictions.
