Days after the French govt declared mandatory vaccinations for 'anyone in contact with the elderly or frail', the British govt has declared likewise for 'anyone anywhere large crowds gather'...
Vaccine passports will be compulsory to enter packed venues such as nightclubs in an extraordinary U-turn announced by Boris Johnson
hours after clubs were allowed to open for the first time in 16 months.
In a move that provoked an immediate backlash from Conservative backbenchers and the entertainment sector, the prime minister said that
from late September, once all adults have had the chance to receive two jabs,
Covid vaccine certificates would be made mandatory in England.
"I should serve notice now that
by the end of September, when
all over-18s will have had their chance to be
double jabbed, we are planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs
and other venues where large crowds gather," he said.
Unlike at pilot events, where customers have been allowed to show evidence of a negative test,
they will have to prove they have been double-jabbed amid concerns in government about vaccine uptake among young people. Some 35% of 18- to 30-year-olds are unvaccinated, he said.
Addressing younger people directly, Johnson said:
"Some of life's most important pleasures and opportunities are likely to be increasingly dependent on vaccination."
