There was a bit of information announced in the last couple of days which not everyone may have seen - those who have had their covid vaccinations can now get a proof of vaccination certificate from the NHS to take with you when you travel. It is available via the NHS app and can be downloaded as a pdf file. It shows your name, NHS number and details of the vaccines you have had (when/where/manufacturer/batch number).  There is also a QR code on the document.

  If you do not have the NHS app you can get a copy of your vaccination certificate by calling 119 (in the UK). From the options menu select Covid Status. There are few further steps but eventually you will get through to an agent. You will need your NHS number. The only criteria to get the certificate is that it must be 5 days or longer since you had your second vaccine and planned travel must be within 4 weeks. They will send it to you through the post

It is not known if the certificate is going to be accepted overseas but it would be worth taking it with you if/when you do travel.

To get your Covid Vaccine cert down load the NHS app and follow the instructions . This is not the NHS Covid App. Once you are signed up you can view all your medical history. You will see the very attached . Just print it off.

Sorry  to hear that your flights have been  cancelled  again ,we got back yesterday  ,having driven through  France and Spain  ,what a difference weather wise from cold and wet Scotland  to some heat .Someone had posted last week that you could download your record on NHS Scotland  ,I had my letter for 2nd jab but it didnt contain a code ,so i did as asked and entered ,postcode DOB etc but i was not  recognised ,same procedure and results for wife ,i do hope you can travel sooner rather than later ,holidays in UK are fine but weather unpredictable and prices high
