I assume you think it is also some great affront to your liberties if you travel somewhere and they require evidence of certain vaccinations to enter, such as yellow fever certificates.
If they bring in passports here to allow us to go to the pub for example, that would be an outrage especially as it would favour the elderly who were vaccinated first over the young who went into lockdown to protect them. However, i suspect this governemnt joining the EU scheme will only be so far as to allow us to travel. This government especially spent months getting us out of every year scheme going such as the vaccine purchase scheme, Erasmus, European court of justice etc, i really dont think they will be jumping into bed with the EU to provide every bit of data. It will be to show brits have been vaccinated and to go on holiday or travel for business.
