frenchred Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I don't wish to start any sort of covid/entry requirements debate! However with the news this morning that only double jabbers MAY be allowed in stadiums as of October. Is everyone aware that if you do not have the app or a smart phone you can get a paper copy of your vaccination status free of charge via the NHS. For those it applies to it may be worth requesting one now before any sort of mad rush and delays start happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the process is an automated one so should not be affected by demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchred Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I'm not aware that they are only valid for one month mate, my parents have just got theirs as they don't have smart phones and no mention only valid for one month. As for the automated bit I really don't know was just trying to give people a heads up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOTRED Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Have checked my COVID pass letter as well and there isnt a time limit. If you plan to get one, though, do so as soon as you believe you will need one. While they should be issued within a week after being requested, I had to ring a second time as one didn't come through the first time I asked.

And Its Smith Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Worth pointing out that the NHS app and the Test and Trace app are different so those that have deleted the latter can download the former to show their vaccine status without thr threat of being pinged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Are they still unsure how long the vaccine will last though? In a few months time they will need to start with the boosters for the elderly and vulnerable, and if any of those decide not to have it, they will show as double jabbed , although may not be immune, depending on the length of immunisation.

Red-Robbo Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Wouldn't the little card they give you - complete with a unique-to-you barcode - when you are vaccinated serve as proof? It records the time and date (and type of vaccine and batch code) of both vaccinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a check. The barcode that is on the card has been covered by the stickers with the date they give you when you're jabbed. Still could probably be read though with the right equipment. Or just use the card? I doubt anyone would go to the arseache of forging one just to be allowed to a few football matches. I can see you'd probably need a more secure vaccine ID for foreign travel etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sticker on mine is on the back, circular with a heart and crown with 'I've had my Covid Vaccination' printed around it. No other barcode or sticker on mine, so it looks they may have stuck a completely unnecessary childish sticker over what could be an important barcode, and which may well make that barcode indiscernible on removal? Or is the barcode & sticker you refer to elsewhere on your card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOTRED Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I dont believe the vaccination card will be accepted as proof that you have had the vaccines. Proof will be the letter or the app. If you dont want to use the app, then the letter is available by ringing 119 and asking for one to be posted to you. The call takes a few minutes and the letter should arrive within a week. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it is best to make the request for the letter early as it took two attempts to get mine.

On mine you can just make out a code - which I think is for the vaccine batch - under the second of the stickers on the back of the card, where they have written in my name. Maybe they printed different designs? Nonetheless, I think even without a barcode, the card would make a cheap but adequate (and very portable) proof of vaccination.

My batch numbers and dates are handwritten as well as my name, and no 2nd sticker. Mine was issued from AG - interesting to know if anyone else jabbed there has any sign of a personalised barcode anywhere on their card. Agree the card should be suitable barcode or not - why not?

Anyone that is confused, read this. Nothing that you would have received when having the jab will be valid. the only proof of vaccination is setting your record up on the NHS app (not track and trace) and/or applying for a paper confirmation by calling 119 anytime after a week after your second jab. I have done both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where it could get interesting. If they do go ahead with booster shots as is likely, these is also the possibility these will be annually for the next few years; the Canadians have announced that they are planning to do this. Are people really going to want to continue taking the vaccines on a annual/bi-annual basis? If they don't, but have had the first two - that we were told was all it was going to be - will they then also not be allowed into places because they haven't got an up to date vaccine pass? If that's the case and attendances to events such as football start to fall, do they then scrap the passes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jab isn't really for immunity though is it, it's really to stop people being hospitalised. People have to take individual responsibility especially the most vulnerable, if you're vulnerable and you don't get a booster why would that be anyone else's problem?
