To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered. This could be one or two depending on your age.
You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine, then you won’t be covered.
The amber list doesn’t tell you if your travel insurance to the USA will be valid. The government’s traffic light system for travel only tells you about the Covid tests and self-isolation you might need to do on return to the UK. To enter the USA, you’ll need to make sure you’ve checked that you fulfil the entry requirements and have a valid visa.
If the FCDO advise against ‘all’, or ‘all but essential’ travel at the time of travel, then you can’t travel with valid cover.
Sometimes holiday plans or medical circumstances can change after you've bought your policy. We will always try to help. If you have an update on your pre-existing medical conditions or you're adding optional extras to your holiday, please let us know and we'll do our best to see if we can increase the coverage where necessary.
We really do need you tell us if something changes before you go on your trip, otherwise it could mean that we can't cover you for a claim later on. Also, please be aware: while we may be able to increase your policy coverage, we can't reduce coverage in return for a partial refund. So, please do check that you’re happy you've got the right level of cover when you book.
Whenever you need us, our 24/7 claims team is here for you.

If the country you are in or travelling to changes from Green to Amber and you want to cancel or cut your trip short, any costs incurred or elements of the trip that are lost will not be covered by our policy. You should contact your airline, tour operator, accommodation provider, or other carriers to enquire about refunds, or about changing your travel plans.
