Health Secretary Matt Hancock has confirmed that the government is "working" on plans for quarantine free travel for people who've had two doses of the vaccine.
Mr Hancock told Sky News that although travel hadn't been clinically advised yet the government were looking at the issue.
He said: "We're working on plans to essentially allow the vaccine to bring back some of the freedoms that have had to be restricted to keep people safe.

"After all, that's the whole purpose of the vaccination programme, that's why it's so important that every adult goes out and gets the jab."
Asked if these plans could be in place as soon as August, the Health Secretary replied: "We'll get there when it's safe to do so."
But in the same interview Mr Hancock said that opening up travel abroad is "more difficult" than lifting restrictions in the UK on July 19.
He said: "Thankfully, because of the vaccination programme, we have been able to free up a huge number of the restrictions here at home.
"We are on track to deliver the Step 4, the further openings, on July 19, which is good.
"We are also looking to see how we can replace the protections that are currently there with the restrictions with protections that come from the vaccine, with respect to international travel as well.
"But it is more difficult freeing up international travel."
The Health Secretary also said the main NHS App, which is different from the Covid-19 App, is "important" as countries are likely to need proof of vaccination status of Britons travelling abroad.
Mr Hancock said: "We can now, all of us, see our vaccine status, see your testing status, on the NHS App.
"Six million people have now downloaded the main NHS App and on that you can show whether you have had the jabs.
"It's important because we know other countries are going to say that they want proof that you have been vaccinated before you go.
"So, when travel is opened up, we are going to make sure people have got that ability to prove it."
