You are also allowed to have the 2 vaccinations under 2 different approved programmes, for example Australia and Japan, UK and USA, EU and Canada.
As of October 4th, the government has changed the current traffic light system which classifies international travel destinations based on Covid-19 risks. The rules for international travel to England have changed from the red, amber, green traffic light system to a single red list of countries and simplified travel measures for arrivals from the rest of the world.
What do the different categories of the UK's 'Traffic Light System' for travel mean?
How will the government decide which countries go on the red list?
Countries are assigned to the red lists, based on a range of Covid-19 health metrics, which include figures on population vaccination, infection rates and prevalence of variants. The red light category indicates a high level of risk in a given destination and the associated tests and quarantine periods required. Lists are reassessed every three weeks, to account for changes in each country’s COVID-19 situation.
Before you travel to England you must:
Red List
Rest of world (unvaccinated)
Rest of world (vaccinated)
On arrival in England you must:
Red List
Rest of world (unvaccinated)
Rest of world (vaccinated)
UK arrivals that have not been fully vaccinated in the UK, EU, USA, or other accepted vaccination programme at least 14 days ago are required by law to quarantine for 10 days, unless they pay to shorten their quarantine with an early release test.

Yes - If your destination requires you to quarantine in a government approved hotel upon your return.
Yes, you must still complete your Day 8 test even if you have ended quarantine due to early release. Not completing your mandatory tests could put you in breach of government regulations with a possible fine.
