(CNN) — News that fully vaccinated travelers from India and many African
countries will face mandatory quarantine in the UK, despite a relaxation of the
country's inbound travel rules, has caused an outcry and accusations of
discrimination.

The UK's revised travel advisory will take effect on October 4 and visitors from
its list of "high risk" countries -- including India, more than 20 African
countries and most Latin American nations -- will still have to quarantine in a
hotel for 10 days despite being fully vaccinated.
According to the new travel guidelines, passengers from the US, EU, and 18 other
territories who have received full doses of UK-approved vaccines, including
formulations of approved vaccines such as the Indian-made AstraZeneca shot
branded Covishield, will not have to quarantine when they arrive in the UK.

No African country was included in the UK's green-listed countries. However,
nearly half of 54 countries on the UK's high-risk list, also known as the "red
list" -- comprising predominantly developing nations -- are from Africa.
The backlash against the UK's revised travel policy had initially stemmed from
the reported exclusion of the Covishield shot from the list of approved
coronavirus vaccines.

Covishield is manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII), the world's
largest vaccine maker. The African Union and Africa Centres for Disease Control
(ACDC) had described Covishield as the "backbone" of the COVAX initiative, a
global vaccine sharing initiative for low- and middle-income countries.
The vaccine was later included in an updated guideline released by UK
authorities following a strong reaction from the Indian government and the
Africa CDC.
The Africa CDC had questioned why the UK, a major financier of the COVAX scheme,
would decline to recognize vaccine certificates from recipients of shots donated
by COVAX. "If you send us vaccines and we use those vaccines, and you say you
don't recognize people that have been immunized, it sends a very challenging
message for us," John Nkengasong, director of the Africa CDC said at a press
conference last week.
"It's a message that creates confusion within our own population and a message
that doesn't really speak to solidarity and cooperation."

President Joe Biden has pledged to significantly increase the amount of Covid-19
vaccines it will ship to foreign nations beginning in 2022 in an effort to end
the pandemic worldwide. Meanwhile the WHO says Africa needs seven times more
vaccine than it currently receives to meet the target of fully vaccinating 70%
of its population by September 2022. CNN's Larry Madowo speaks to Winnie
Byanyima, head of UNAIDS and under-secretary-general of the United Nations,
about the vaccine inequality.
George Jobe, the executive director of Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN), told
CNN the UK's stance on vaccine certificates could hurt Africa's already slow
Covid vaccination drive.
"When we consider what we have gone through in Africa for people to get
vaccinated amid all sorts of negative information and myths surrounding the
Covid-19 vaccine, this news can affect the exercise to vaccinate as many people
as possible because it may be misunderstood as though the vaccine being
administered in Africa has no efficacy," Jobe said. "The UK government should
revisit its stand."
The UK government acknowledges there is "frustration" with its new travel
policy.
The British High Commission has issued statements in parts of Africa including
Nigeria and Ghana saying: "We understand that there has been some frustration
that new UK travel rules, coming into force on 4 October, will continue to
require people traveling to the UK from Ghana to self-isolate despite having
received two doses of recognized Covid-19 vaccines in Ghana."
It adds that: "The UK is committed to opening up international travel and we are
using our Covid-19 vaccination certification process to enable those wishing to
enter the UK to do so safely."

The UK has also faced criticism for leaving African countries on its list of
high-risk destinations, even as Covid numbers were declining rapidly on the
continent, according to the WHO.
Thousands of South Africans have signed a petition calling on UK authorities to
remove the country from its red list, as the country exits the third wave.
African countries have been significantly less affected by the pandemic compared
to other parts of the world.
South Africa's minister of international relations and cooperation, Naledi
Pandor, has described remaining on the UK's red list as "a political
punishment."

CNN's Larry Madowo speaks with Naledi Pandor, South Africa's Minister of
International Relations and Cooperation, about her reaction to the UK keeping
South Africa on its red list for arrivals as of October 4, 2021. This means that
travelers arriving from South Africa - regardless of their vaccinations status -
will face onerous entry requirements, including a mandatory minimum 10-day hotel
quarantine at a cost of more than $3,000.
"Keeping us on the red list sounds like a political punishment of some kind that
we do not understand at all," Pandor said in an interview with CNN.
"Furthermore, I was horrified... to be informed by a South African citizen that
a travel agency she was using to plan a trip to the United Kingdom said there's
also some statement from the UK that if you come from a red list country, even
if you are vaccinated, they do not recognize your vaccine amount. I find this
astounding," Pandor added.


FEARS OVER VACCINE CARD FRAUD

The issue of whether the Indian variant of the AstraZeneca vaccine will be
accepted for travel has confused travelers since the European Union refused to
include it in the European Union Digital Covid Certificate in July.
The certificate enables fully vaccinated people to travel freely within the EU
and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the AstraZeneca shot (branded
Vaxzevria) which is manufactured by vaccine makers in Europe, the US, South
Korea, and China.
The EMA said this version was licensed within the EU but the Indian version of
the AZ vaccine produced by SII was not.
Covishield has since become accepted across parts of Europe, with more than a
dozen European countries now recognizing the shot for travel.

The delay in approving the Covishield vaccine appears to be because of fears
over vaccine certificate fraud. The British high commissioner to India, Alex
Ellis, has said that "Covishield is not the issue," but suggested instead that
the exclusion of double-jabbed Indian travelers from the UK's quarantine waiver
appears to be because of unresolved issues on India's vaccine certificates.
There were currently technical conversations ongoing between the builders of the
Indian and UK vaccine apps with the aim of moving India and other countries on
to its quarantine waiver list, Ellis said.
The UK has said in its statements that they are working "in partnership with the
US and EU to recognize vaccine certificates from other countries as part of a
phased review of the many Covid-19 vaccine certificates issued across the
world."
The European Union's law enforcement agency had earlier raised alarm over the
"illicit sale of false negative COVID-19 test certificates." In a February
report, Europol stated forged Covid documents were sold for up to £100 ($134) in
the UK.
In July, the US Department of Justice announced that it had arrested a
California doctor for running a fake Covid-19 immunization and vaccine card
scheme. Security researchers at cybersecurity firm Check Point Software also
reported that vaccine certificates from various countries including the US were
selling on the dark web for around $200 each.
Some experts say the illicit trade in vaccine cards and digital passports is to
be expected. "Not everyone has access to the vaccine; rollouts are slow in many
countries, and people are tired of lockdowns and curfews," said Michela Menting,
who covers cybersecurity for ABI Research.
"If people can easily get hold of a fake passport to avoid restrictions, then
they will, and an illicit market will spring up around it."
