Spain is updating their Covid guidelines for the covid vaccine for Brits travelling to the sunny destination.

In an attempt to control the spread, Spain have announced that they will be requiring proof of booster jabs if the last dose was given nine months before.

This could cause holiday plans to be thrown in the air for those wishing to get away.

However Spanish officials have said that they plan on opening up the nightlife again in Ibiza from April, two weeks earlier than they had already planned.

José Luis Benítez, manager of the Ocio de Ibiza (Leisure of Ibiza) association, said: “The idea is that the opening will be at the end of April, two weeks ahead of what is normally done.”

He added that the nightlife season plans to “continue on until October … November if all goes well.”
