Happy to see they have opened the vaccine up to the 30 and 31 year olds so now got mine booked (bit annoyed that the earliest I could get is the 13th June but I’ll take it none the less.

I'd guess that's no more complicated than they're accepting passports of vaccines that have been approved in Bulgaria, which is not unreasonable.
But potentially costs them a fair bit of missed trade with Russia.
I see France have reintroduced 7-day quarantine from the UK because of the new variants, when they had been planning to take vaccine passports with no quarantine. Germany has 2 weeks, Austria has banned all direct flights.

Don't be shy.Way too much info.
A single-dose Covid vaccine made by Janssen has been approved for use in the UK by the medicines regulator.
The vaccine was 85% effective in stopping severe illness from Covid-19 in trials and has met expected safety standards.
Twenty million doses have been ordered for the UK and will arrive later this year.
It will be the fourth vaccine to be used in the UK to protect against Covid-19.
More than 38 million people have now received a first dose of a vaccine in the UK - nearly three-quarters of the adult population.
The vaccine can be given to people aged 18 and over and is likely to be used as a booster *** for care home residents ahead of winter because it can be easily stored and transported at fridge temperatures.
The UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) will produce advice on exactly who should receive the Belgian-made *** in due course.
The single-dose option has already been authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and the World Health Organization (WHO).

I had a text from the NHS, asking if I would like to bring my 2nd *** forwards, just been online and have changed it from 11th June to tomorrow afternoon.
There are signs the UK is in the early stages of a third wave of coronavirus infections, a scientist advising the government has said.
Prof Ravi Gupta, from the University of Cambridge, said although new cases were "relatively low" the Indian variant had fuelled "exponential growth".
He said ending Covid restrictions in England on 21 June should be postponed.
Environment Secretary George Eustice said the government could not rule out a delay to the planned lockdown easing.
But business leaders have warned of the harmful impact of any change to the proposed dates.
On Sunday, the UK reported more than 3,000 new Covid infections for a fifth day in a row.
Prior to this, the UK had not surpassed that number since 12 April.
Prof Gupta told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the UK was already in a third wave of infections and at least three quarters of cases were the variant identified in India.
He said: "Of course the numbers of cases are relatively low at the moment - all waves start with low numbers of cases that grumble in the background and then become explosive, so the key here is that what we are seeing here is the signs of an early wave."
However, he said the number of people who had been vaccinated in the UK meant this wave would probably take longer to emerge than previous ones.
"There may be a false sense of security for some time, and that's our concern."
The final stage of the government's roadmap for lifting lockdown would remove all limits on how many people you can meet - either indoors or outdoors.
But Prof Gupta - a member of the government's New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag) - said ending restrictions in June should be delayed "by a few weeks whilst we gather more intelligence".
"If you look at the costs and benefits of getting it wrong, I think it is heavily in favour of delay, so I think that's the key thing," he added.
