The UK government has insisted that vaccine passports will remain an integral tool in fighting the spread of COVID just a day after health secretary Sajid Javid asserted that they had been completely scrapped.
Well, that didn’t take long.
During his media rounds yesterday morning, Javid said that vaccine passports represented a “huge intrusion into people’s lives,” adding, “I am pleased to say that we will not be going ahead.”
However, within 24 hours, the government has indicated that the system will in fact form a “first-line defence” against a winter wave of coronavirus.
