Amber multiple changes for people arriving on or after 19 July 2021.
- Those vaccinated in the UK, both vaccines, with a lag of two weeks thereafter won't need to self isolate
- All children under 18 are all exempted from self isolation, not just those accompanying parents / carer
- Pre flight tests still required
- PCR Day2 tests still required.
- No testing required for under 4 years, only PCR day2 for ages 5 to 18 years
- Overseas vaccinations not in scope, but a future announcement will be made. so those vaccinated overseas will currently need to self isolate but will have TTR option on day5
- Those who participated in the vaccine trials in the UK can participate in this scheme
- PLF will be amended to include vaccine statements
- Airlines will be expected to check vaccine status at check-in on the return to the UK.
In essence Amber countries are now Green for those vaccinated in the UK.

30 countries accept the NHS App and/or the NHS letter (see Vaccine Passport thread in the UK and Ireland Destination Forum).
You have got to be kidding with respect to no overseas vaccinations? I am a UK resident. Just because I was vaccinated in New York - same Pfizer - same protocol - I will be told to self isolate when I return post July 19 but if I got it here I wouldn't? That's total and complete BS when I freed up two jabs for someone else in the UK. How long do you think this will be the case? If this will be more than a few weeks - then I will go get a third shot and a fourth shot here.
