I t will only be a few more months until most UK people have had their first jab.
Most children (apparently) will have already had Covid by then - if we go by the amount of positive tests in schools.
By the time vaccine passports are securely available - with safeguards for those 'unable' to be vaccinated and a method of stopping forgeries - there will be no need for one.
Foreign travel is another fish filled kettle altogether

Important to understand that the first jab (O/AZ) gives 76% protection from 22 days after the first jab, and reduction in asymptomatic transmission by 67%, then 82% protection after the second dose but a reduction to 50% in asymptomatic transmission after the second dose.
It greatly reduces the likelyhood of severe illness and passing on the virus, it doesn't stop it.
