It was revealed that BRITS who fail to get their third Covid hit will face renewed travel restrictions.

Ministers plan to reimpose quarantine and testing for Britons who have refused their booster vaccine in a bid to protect the UK from new strains of Covid.

Under the new plans, travelers will not be able to use evidence of a negative Covid test to travel abroad.

Instead, they will only be able to travel with proof of the booster shot.

Protection from vaccines deteriorates over months, so a third vaccine can raise immunity for the winter months and prevent deaths.

“It won’t happen right away – but it will,” a government source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

The move would change the definition of “full vaccination” to mean getting all three shots of Covid.

But the plans are likely to be controversial as only 60 percent of those eligible for the booster vaccine have had it.

Now officials are divided over when to implement the travel rules.

It has been discussed, as reported by the Mail on Sunday, that there will be a grace period allowing people to travel without quarantine if they have requested the booster vaccine six months after the second vaccination but have not been scheduled.

Meanwhile, Britons traveling soon with an NHS Covid vaccine passport have been warned to update it urgently, or risk being banned from flying.

The government has updated its travel advice for vaccinated travelers, following the European Union’s decision to accept the NHS Covid card.

Last week, the European Commission confirmed that the UK’s NHS COVID Card will finally be accepted as full proof of vaccination in all EU countries.

This will not only speed up travel, but will also allow travelers to enter bars and restaurants without having to test negative for Covid.

However, this means Britons must update their NHS Covid permits – with any permits printed before November not being valid.

The Austrian government has a 360-day limit on how long they will learn about the effectiveness of the vaccine after the date of the second shot.

Israel has a 180-day limit on how long they will learn about the effectiveness of the vaccine after the date of the second shot.

This comes after the Minister of Health announced that 10 million Britons had received their third vaccine.

Reinforcements are currently available to anyone over 50, health care workers and those at risk.

The program is scheduled to extend to those over the age of 40 early next year.
