Covid Vaccination Passports

From Monday, 17 May, the NHS app will be available to use as a vaccine passport.
 
The NHS app that already enables people to book appointments, repeat prescriptions and see their full medical records, from next week will also provide evidence of your vaccination status.
 
Your status will show when you have had doses of the COVID Vaccination. The NHS app is separate to the NHS Covid-19 app, which is used for contact tracing.

If people are planning to travel, they are encouraged to register to use the app at least two weeks before travelling.

A paper version will also be available – by calling 119 – not through the surgery. Please don’t call the surgery.

The paper letter should be requested at least five days after a second vaccine, and can take up to five days to arrive so make sure to leave plenty of time if you need it to travel.

Vaccination had abroad

COVID-19 vaccinations received in another country do not automatically show on an individual’s medical records or in their NHS App, which is used to create a COVID pass. For records to be updated, people need to book an appointment with an overseas vaccination validation service. This service is now available to book at Churchill Square vaccination centre in Brighton & Hove – please click link for more details: Overseas vaccinations’ appointments go live in Brighton & Hove to complete NHS records  – Sussex Health & Care Partnership (sussexhealthandcare.uk)

Useful advice for parents of 12 year olds & 13 – 15 year olds. There are 2 different routes which are dependent on age. Please follow the link below:
