Curmudgeon Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 In planning a trip to the UK this spring, I checked out entry requirements relative to Covid vaccination. I'm fully vaccinated and have the Mexican government vaccination certificate. The UK Government website lists the countries from which vaccination certificates are accepted. Mexico is not on the list. More research uncovers the following from the British Embassy Facebook page: "British Embassy, Mexico City: The UK requirements for vaccination certificates are based on World Health Organization guidelines (https://www.who.int/.../WHO-2019-nCoV-Digital. ..). These requirements include a Date of birth that appears explicitly on the certificate, to allow information about the vaccination event to be linked to a specific person. More details can be found at gov.uk (https: //www.gov.uk /.../ countries-with-approved-covid-19 ...). Currently, Mexican vaccination certificates do not have this information, so they cannot be considered valid proof of vaccination. Faced with this situation, we are in talks with the Mexican authorities" Has anyone else tried to travel to the UK with a Mexican vaccination certificate?

Yes I'm aware of that, but apparently the WHO requires birthdate to be "explicitly shown" BTW I've not checked other countries, but I suspect we may have the same problem elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
