Can I travel from Spain to England currently with only one vaccine dose, but a prior recovery from Covid-19?
Can a 26 year old Spanish citizen and resident currently travel to England from Spain by air, without quarantine, if they have previously recovered from a Covid-19 infection and have had a single dose of the Moderna vaccine?
Tested negative for virus. Vaccine certificate says "1/1" doses and Spain considers this to be fully vaccinated with no further doses required or allowed due to the previous infection. Other certificates of non-previously-infected show "2/2" doses for the same vaccine.
The UK.gov website has this to say:
Natural immunity
Some people may have natural immunity, for example if they’ve had COVID-19.
Some countries relax their entry rules if you have natural immunity. England does not.
Follow the rules for those who are not fully vaccinated if you have natural immunity and haven’t had a full course of an approved vaccine. For example, if you’ve only had 1 dose of Moderna instead of 2.
However Spain does consider this person to be fully vaccinated and the certificate states this. So it seems ambiguous. Does anyone definitively know better?
