Boris Johnson performed a major u-turn in July when he said being double jabbed would be a condition of entry to clubs and other venues from the end of SeptemberNo10 vows to press ahead with vaccine passports for nightclubs and indoor venuesMinisters will press ahead with plans to introduce vaccine passports for nightclubs and other busy indoor venues in England from the end of September. Downing Street has insisted there is no change in policy despite objections from Conservative MPs who have threatened to boycott their party conference. Ministers hope to boost vaccine uptake among the young - which is well behind other age cohorts - by making it a condition of entry for nightclubs and gigs. "It is still very much our intention to roll out the booster programme during September." Experts will also issue guidance as to whether the UK will follow other countries and offer the vaccine to 12 to 15-year-olds.
