Why rules for travelling to England say "you cannot use the EU DCC to add proof of vaccination" for a few EU countries?

From today (2021-11-16), the message has been updated:

You can use the EU DCC to prove your vaccination status. You cannot currently use your EU DCC to verify your vaccination status via the UK passenger locator form.

The table’s heading says "Examples of proof of vaccination status and whether you can verify this on the UK passenger locator form".

EU DCC is an example of the proof of vaccination status for e.g. Germany. It is just that you cannot verify the EU DCC issued by Germany with the passenger locator form; just like for someone having a vaccination proof issued by Canada, they can nonetheless be treated as vaccinated for entry into UK.

On the passenger locator form, it says

Proving your vaccination status

You can use this service to prove your vaccination status if you have:

  • your NHS COVID Pass
  • your NHS Scotland vaccination status
  • your NI COVID certificate
  • your EU Digital COVID certificate – check if your EU Digital COVID certificate is eligible and if your vaccine is accepted

If you choose to do this, you’ll need to provide a scan or screenshot
of the QR code from your valid vaccination certificate.

You may still be asked to show your vaccination certificate to prove
your vaccination status when you travel.

If you cannot use this service, or you choose not to, you must use
your vaccination certificate to prove your vaccination status before
you board your plane, train or ferry to the UK.
