That's very true, and although the UK is in transition, certainly earlier in the year, whilst the UK was busy demanding quarantine of people arriving from some EU nations, within the "real" EU for the most part borders were being kept open and travel between member states largely permitted.
The whole thing may become a lot messier come January, and as for insurance companies, I think it's a pretty safe bet that they will demand vaccination, else health aspects of the cover may be invalid. Insurers don't like paying out at the best of times, and the risk to them of paying out on covid is severely raised, and likely will be for most of next year
