What are the Changes?
The government of the United Kingdom will allow fully vaccinated 12 to 15-year-old individuals to gain access to a COVID-19 vaccination certificate beginning December 13, 2021. This will ease travel restrictions and enable more dependents with approved vaccines to travel to more countries, such as Canada, which require 12 to 15-year-old individuals to be fully vaccinated to be exempt from specific quarantine and entrance requirements.
