How Fully Vaccinated Day 2 Testing Works
How Fully Vaccinated Day 2 Testing Works
Day 2 tests for fully vaccinated passengers arriving into the UK are mandatory. You will not need to quarantine on arrival in England or take a day 8 COVID-19 test, as long as you:
If you qualify as fully vaccinated you will have to:
- book and pay for a day 2 COVID-19 test – to be taken after arrival in England
- complete your passenger locator form – any time in the 48 hours before you arrive in England
- take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2 after you arrive in England
Under the new rules, you will not need to:
- take a pre-departure test
- take a day 8 COVID-19 test
- quarantine at home or in the place you are staying for 10 days after you arrive in England
- have been fully vaccinated under the UK vaccination programme
- fully vaccinated with an authorised vaccine in the USA or Europe
- have not been in a red list country in the 10 days before you arrive in England
Fully vaccinated means that you have had your final dose of an approved vaccine at least 14 days before the date you arrive in England.

We then private courier your samples to the laboratory within 6-8 hours of receipt at our Head Office. This ensures that your sample reaches the laboratory the same day as being delivered to us.
