Over 12s to be vaccinated for travel to Spain

Thank you.  We haven’t got the opportunity to move the holiday to later in the summer as have other plans at the end of August and then school is back 🙁. My insurance company said I could claim if this is still the same 31 days before travel as this wasn’t the rule when we booked.  But would rather just go on holiday, so wondered if there were any exceptions in the small print.  It could well affect a lot of families with spring/summer born 12 year olds this summer.  You would have thought they would have considered this situation  when making the rules!  Thanks again for your comments and advice x

It’s unlikely that Spain considered the U.K.’s vaccination time-table when it introduced the rules. Lots of families missed their holidays for this very reason when the rules changed in December.

Also the U.K. Gov doesn’t consider foreign countries entry requirements when planning vaccine roll-out. That decision would have been based on how many children need to be vaccinated, when the required number of vaccines are available and how many staff are available to administer them . 

It’s good that you have insurance that covers it, if the current rules are still in place.

There is no reason why nay other country should make their rules to suit the UK.

They cannot cater for every other country's vaccination protocol just as UK did not cater for people from other countries wanting to visit  here.
