Why rules for travelling to England say "you cannot use the EU DCC to add proof of vaccination" for a few EU countries? - EU flag

I want to travel to England from an EU country and I am fully vaccinated. I have the EU DCC QR code. However, I'm reading about "Approved proof of vaccination" in this gov.uk page and for a number of EU countries

Andorra, Bulgaria, Czech Republic (Czechia), Germany, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Ukraine

Last updated 8 November 2021

it says:

EU DCC – you cannot use the EU DCC to add proof of vaccination status in the UK passenger locator form.

For these countries, it doesn't list "Vaccine certificate." as a proof either.

If I come from one of these countries, does it mean England doesn't consider my certificate valid? Should I follow rules for non-vaccinated people?

You can use the EU DCC to prove your vaccination status. You cannot currently use your EU DCC to verify your vaccination status via the UK passenger locator form.
