Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article erroneously stated that Sinovac recipients could not enter England. This has been rectified. The error is regretted.

Travel rules released by the United Kingdom yesterday could make travel for Sinovac recipients to England more of a hassle.

Under the new rules, effective Oct 4, travellers who have had a full course of the AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, or Janssen vaccines will be subjected to less strict rules for travel.

Under these new rules, those who received the listed vaccines need not take a pre-departure Covid-19 test.
