After being double jabbed in Spain, Joan Corrigan thought she’d finally get home to see family before realising the UK authorities wouldn’t recognise her vaccination and she’d have to quarantine.
“I assumed I could go home without complications but now I realise I’m going to be treated as if I haven’t been vaccinated at all!” says Corrigan, who lives in Malaga in southern Spain and has just bought a ticket to visit family in Northern Ireland.
But with the UK authorities not recognising vaccines administered abroad, the 41-year-old English teacher will have to spend 10 days of her holiday self-isolating and pay for expensive PCR tests costing up to £250 (300 euros/$350) per person.
