Covid Vaccination Status

 

Individuals in England who have had a full course of the COVID-19 vaccine can now get proof of their vaccination details and demonstrate their COVID-19 status for international travel using the NHS COVID Pass.

There are 3 options to demonstrate COVID-19 status: via the NHS App (if you have full access to the App and are registered at a GP surgery), through NHS.UK and by letter from the 119 telephone service.

Currently only vaccines delivered in the UK can be accepted as evidence for UK COVID certification/ the NHS COVID Pass and that the NHS is working on a solution.

Covid-19 Vaccines

We urge everyone eligible who has not yet had their first vaccine to book on the national booking system or by calling 119.

 

If you have had your first vaccine, please make sure you have your second vaccine dose to ensure maximun protection.

If you have specific concerns about taking the vaccine and would like to talk to a health professional please contact your GP.

There is comprehensive information, guidance and answers to questions, including vaccination on who is currently eligible, information for pregnant women, front line health and social care staff and carers here.

You can also find information on the vaccine, including local case studies, on the Waltham Forest Council website here.
