England is backflipping on its plan to introduce a COVID-19 passport.

Plans for the Covid-19 passport were set to be introduced by the end of the month to grant access to large, indoor events. 

The UK health minister Sajid Javid announced the government had dropped the initial plan for the time being. Javid says he wouldn’t rule out revisiting the vaccine passport in the future. 

This comes as Australia is set to trial the vaccine passport technology overseas this week.
