NEW RULES BY THE UK GOVERNMENT TOWARDS COVID19 VACCINATION ADMINISTERED IN NIGERIA

Covid19 Update for International students such as the new rules by the UK government towards the covid19 vaccine administered in African in countries like Nigeria have left so many prospective study-abroad students, tourists and businessmen with the intentions of travelling to the UK excited.

After the spread of the deadly coronavirus disease in December 2019, Covid vaccination was established to protect people against this deadly disease.

Different types of covid vaccines were produced and distributed to different countries around the world.

The different types of Covid Vaccines are:

Oxford/AstraZeneca
Pfizer BioNTech
Moderna
Janssen

On the 17th of September, the United Kingdom made a travel rule regarding the Covid19 vaccination. This rule stated that individuals who were administered vaccines in countries, like India, Turkey, Jordan, Thailand, Russia, and continents like Africa and South America are considered “unvaccinated”

Therefore must follow the unvaccinated rules that were put in place by the UK government before they can successfully settle in the UK. International students in Nigeria travelling to the UK were affected as they had to follow the unvaccinated rules before they could successfully travel for their studies in the UK.

These rules are as follows

They must provide their vaccination status on arrival in the UK
A 72hours Covid 19 test should be done before entering the UK
Self Isolation of 10 days after entering the UK
Covid test must be taken on or before day 2 after entering the UK
Further testing will be taken on day 8 after entering the UK

THE UK APPROVES OF COVID19 VACCINES ADMINISTERED IN NIGERIA

On Monday, the 11th of October, 2021 the UK government released a new travel rule with respect to the Covid19 vaccination. This new rule states that the vaccination administered in most African countries has been approved by the UK government. Fortunately, Nigeria is among these countries, meaning that vaccination administered in Nigeria has been approved by the UK government.

Therefore, International students in Nigeria travelling to the UK on or after the 11th of October, 2021 do not have to follow the unvaccinated rules but rather the vaccinated rules.

The Vaccinated rules are as follows:

Covid Vaccination status must be provided e.g A Covid19 vaccine certificate.
A 72hours Covid 19 test before entering the UK is not required
Getting a day 2 Covid 19 test is required.
10 days self Isolation after entering the UK is not needed
Getting a day 8 Covid 19 test is not required.

Therefore international students who are fully vaccinated and have plans to study in a University in the UK can follow the vaccinated rule by simply providing proof of their vaccination status, whereas unvaccinated international students must follow the unvaccinated rule. For a swift travel process to the UK for studies, international students are advised to get vaccinated.
