This recognised all vaccines administered in the United Kingdom, including all batches of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccines.</p><p> </p><p>Discussions with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) focused on strategies for the safe and sustainable reopening of international travel. This consisted of common standards on certification, including for all COVID-19 vaccines deployed in the UK. Through our membership of ICAO’s Council Aviation Recovery Taskforce, we assisted the delivery of a global harmonised approach to restart and recovery. We are working with the WHO as it develops its policy on vaccination travel risks and smart COVID-19 status certification. The ICAO will then develop further international aviation guidance to build a more resilient and sustainable international civil aviation system. This was discussed further during the ICAO’s Conference held in October 2021.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 13/01/2022 11:48:05 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
