UK's Covid vaccine minister suggests bars, cinemas and football stadiums could BAN Brits who haven't had jab as he admits No10 is looking at 'immunity passports'

Bars, cinemas and football stadiums could turn away Britons who have not been vaccinated against coronavirus, the UK's vaccine minister has claimed.

Nadhim Zahawi MP warned many businesses would likely require proof of the jabs once they become available, in the same way they now ask customers to check-in using QR codes.

He admitted ministers were looking at so-called 'immunity passports' on the NHS Covid-19 app as a way to provide evidence of vaccination.

Immunity passports have been touted as the key for getting swathes of society back to normal life, and allowing millions to evade restrictions. This is because they would indicate someone is protected against the virus, and is able to fight it off without getting severely ill or dying.

Baroness Dido Harding, the boss of NHS Test and Trace, has also revealed her team are looking at how to update the app to display vaccination status.

The Government has said vaccinations will not be compulsory in the UK, but Mr Zahawi warned there was likely to be restrictions for those that refuse to get them.

It comes amid swirling rumours a Covid-19 vaccination could be approved in December.

And after Moderna said today it would submit its vaccine to US regulators for emergency approval after phase 3 trials found it was 94.1 per cent effective.
