Must be. Otherwise the whole "No test needed if you have had a vaccine" schtick will die on its arse.

Also be good if there is a certificate to prove you are exempt from having the vaccine for medical reasons as there are already a few exceptions:
eg pregnant/intending to become pregnant, receiving certain treatments, immunocompromised persons, taking certain medications, history of significant allergic reactions. Hence best to check with your Personal Doctor prior to having the vaccination if you think any of the above applies to you.

Updated to replace 'virus' with 'vaccine' so it makes more sense!

Everything I have read about the vaccine here, keep referring to "Cypriot Citizens", will they include "Cypriot Residents" or will expats not be included?

They are going to give out a record of vaccine card in the UK per CNN

Whoops, I meant the vaccine!

''Any person with a history of immediate-onset anaphylaxis to a vaccine, medicine or food should not receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine''.

Spot on Dev. Galexinda, the two people who had the adverse reaction to the vaccine are now OK and are ticketyboo. However, must be scary for those who have had SEVERE reactions to other 'things.'
