+1👍🏻, I doubt they’ll close the borders in this country or ask for a stickyfoot of jab compliance😂

Our ferry with BF has also been cancelled for the end of April, offered a refund or voucher, decided this time we will have the refund.
If we do manage to get away in the autumn we will more than likely use the tunnel rather than the long crossing.
Hopefully by the autumn, tests will have been dropped in favour of the vaccination certificate whatever form that will take. The airlines are going to want something put in place by the summer so the autumn looks more favourable than June time.

"Brits may be allowed to visit Spain this summer even if there is no EU agreement on vaccine passports, according to reports.
The country's tourism minister Fernando Valdés said Spain is considering a 'green corridor' for vaccinated Britons.
He said the government is in talks with the UK in a bid to make travel between the two countries easier in time for the summer.
Mr Valdés added that Spain is hoping to find an agreement with the EU so the country can start welcoming back tourists as soon as possible"
It was inevitable, EU countries such as Spain bending over backwards so that Brits abroad can help to save their economy, and yet the EU is still prepared to decimate the likes of our Cornish fishing industry

Probably wouldnt be sat with a healthy dose of covid-19 vaccination in our bodies if we had not voted "leave", and looking at the prospect of being able to travel with a degree of safety.
Even when UK was an EU Member, it had the right to use a delegated power to start its own vaccination programme. This was confirmed by Dr June Raine, Head of MHRA at the start of December 2020. The 'couldn't have gone solo if we had still been in EU' is a myth.

But that "operative word" is simply wrong isn't it? There's no "almost certainly" or "as far as one knows" as is clear from Steve's more knowledgeable post. Even Gavin Williamson was forced to admit that the "better off out" line was false in this case.

We will never know if being in would have made an appreciable differance to going it alone or not, remember, there was a lot of pressure from the opposition to "not go it alone", which could have held a much greater sway if we had been in the EU, being out meant the government had a much easier task to bat aside any pressure from the EU/Opposition and certainly with respect to controlling covid-19, making travel a very real possibility later this year, and of course all the NHS benefits etc that go with it .

The European Commission were proposing a central procurement process for purchasing vaccines as an imperative back in October. If the UK was not leaving the EU it may have chosen to follow this strategy - who knows? As always with Brexit issues, you could call it either way.

Probably = in all likelihood
Possibly = something that might happen
So, to suggest that UK in all likelihood would not have been able to pursue its own vaccination programme is simply wrong, because UK had a pre-existing power that was not contingent upon any other event
It is possible that a delay in implementing the vaccination programme may have caused you orme to become infcted with COVID, but that is only speculation
