Fully vaccinated Nigerian travelers can visit England without needing to provide a pre-departure test

From Monday, 11 October 2021, fully vaccinated travelers from Nigeria will be able to visit England without needing to provide a pre-departure test, undertake a day 8 test, or self-isolate for 10 days, although will still need to book and pay for a day 2 test. This policy applies to those fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca (including Covidshield), Pfizer, Moderna, and Janssen (Johnson and Johnson).

Fully vaccinated means that you have had a complete course of an approved vaccine at least 14 days before you arrive in England. The day you had your final dose does not count as one of the 14 days. You must be able to prove that you have been fully vaccinated under a vaccination program and have a valid proof of vaccination recognized by the British Government. For Nigeria, the certificates with valid QR codes as issued by Nigeria’s National Primary Health Care Development Agency are recognized.
