Yes..seen that but just wondered.
i see flights from Stansted with Ryanair for 10 euros all through June and July.
My guess is that Portugal will allow double jabbed and kids in without testing.
Clearly nobody flying even at these prices

Quote from the HM Govt UK site - latest has not changed, but Portugal is due to update its status on restrictions today sometime so there may be changes imminently. However in view of the state of the UK with the Delta and its variants it would be prudent for Portugal still to insist on some sort of testing as the vaccinations do not stop you carrying the infection, only stop you yourself getting as ill with it as you would if not vaccinated.

Not the same the other way round, no, because Germany's rate is much lower than Portugal's and declining, whereas ours, like the UK's, is high and rocketing upwards.

I have never understood why there has not been more of an effort to get the whole population ( UK as well as Portugal ) vaccinated much much sooner.
If Israel could do it why not UK / Portugal ? Put the military in charge and vaccinate through the night as well as daytime.
Does anyone know if there is a known date by which all Portuguese will have been vaccinated ? Or adults at least. ?
Is Lisbon still off limits for visits ? If so is there a likely date for that to end ?

Reading the other day that some "mass Vaccination" sites will be closing and favouring "pop up" Vaccination sites, but they only appear to be helpful if they "pop up" in your area.
It does seem peculiar to me that we don't push on and get the remaining population done, hence my suspicions / speculation that supply is the issue.
Obviously I may be totally wrong and the powers that be know what they are doing.

However in England, all adults over 18 are eligible to book their first vaccine. Yesterday, hundreds of pop-up centres all over the country were accepting walk-ins with or without an NHS number, My 27 year old son has just had his second vaccine. I think we are still doing pretty well.

How do they keep a record of these people with regard to timing of / contact for the second jab?
Presumably also, some of these people will be undocumented / illegals?
