Britain recognizes the AstraZeneca, Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccines.
Visitors from seven countries, including Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela will still be required to quarantine.

Airline companies like Ryanair and easyJet had complained that complicated travel restrictions have prevented the tourism industry from recovering from lost business during pandemic lockdowns.
"Restoring people's confidence in travel is key to rebuilding our economy and leveling up this country," British Transport Minister Grant Shapps said Thursday. "With less restrictions and more people traveling, we can all continue to move safely forward together along our pathway to recovery."
Earlier this week, Britain lifted recommendations against nonessential travel to 32 countries, including Ghana and Malaysia.
