The UK is reportedly set to create a "vaccine passport" which will allow British people to travel abroad for holidays.
The Foreign Office, Department for Transport and Department of Health and Social Care are all reportedly working on options for foreign travel that may ask for such a document as a condition of entry.
British tourists will reportedly be allowed to travel to Greece from May if they can prove they've had their covid jab - reports Mirror Online.
Government officials have reportedly said to the Greek ministry of tourism that Britain’s vaccine programme is advanced enough that holidaymakers will 'save their lucrative summer season.'
According to The Times Grigoris Tasios, president of the Greek hoteliers federation, said: “Greece has long been a favourite holiday destination for the British.
"But with the rate of inoculations in the UK largely outpacing all others across Europe and beyond, British travellers will be among the safest to travel here by as early as May.”
Currently, while there are general restrictions on movement within the UK as part of the third national lockdown British citizens are permitted to fly into Greece.
Travellers must give evidence of a negative result for Covid that has been carried out in the 72-hour period before arriving in the country.

In addition, arrivals into Greece from the UK by air are required to undergo a rapid coronavirus test on arrival, and if the result is negative, self-isolate for 7 days.
People arriving back into the UK from outside now need a negative Covid test and must isolate at home for 10 days.
Meanwhile, a hotel quarantine regime for passengers arriving from 33 'red-list' Covid hotspots, will not start for another 10 days, the Government admitted and will launch from February 15.
