I never said it was a passport! the page i quoted simply shows you have been jabbed, when the vaccine passport is updated it will be digital or printed, it will not be on a central database that can be hacked along with your patient details, they have said it will be individual details to prevent hacking.

Do you believe everything "they" say, this is leading into the social credit system.

I really have not got a clue as to what you are talking about! the forum is for helpful advice, that is all i tried to do, in fact the app is freely available now and you do not need to wear a tinfoil hat to download it.
You’re not alone, he lost me too. I had my 2nd covid jab on Monday, it was showing on the NHS app the next day. Impressive!

When you've left Malawi, can't enter Tanzania and are stuck between the border posts, the WHO don't really help. First time I was in Russia, you needed a stock of $10 bills as about once per day, they'd come to check your passport and if there were no bill in it, there'd be a problem with the passport that required you to be arrested and escorted back to a police station. (A problem of paying coppers $8k per annum in a city as expensive to live in as London or New York). That had all but vanished by my most recent trip.

I've been to Russia around 6 times, never ever had any issues or had to put any money in passports. Who was coming to check your passport everyday?

Yes i just had my second and asked if I would get a card. The answer is no. Will need to obtain proof from my GP apparently. They are going to be very busy.................. Bonkers! Another Nicola triumph.

I need to check the stats. Nicola has had a great pandemic but I'm not sure the outcomes are any better and stuff like this is definitely worse than England. In fact her main objective has been doing stuff differently to England. I am in favour of Scottish Indy but I have had enough of her!

What are the benefits of Scotland having independence from the UK? Please don't leave, we love you guys!

People who have had both jabs will be able to use the NHS app as a vaccine passport for overseas travel from Monday. Those who do not use smartphones can phone 119 for a paper letter confirming their vaccine status but have been urged not to ask their GP. The government hopes the app will be able to show vaccination status in time for people to be able to use it when the ban on foreign travel is lifted on May 17. The app will not show Covid test results but it is hoped that they will be incorporated by the time domestic Covid status certification is due to be introduced for mass events on June 21. The NHS app was set up to allow people to book appointments and repeat prescriptions online and allows people to see their full medical records. NHS Digital, the health service’s technology unit, has been working on tweaking the app so that vaccine data is pulled out of medical records and shown on a separate screen that can be presented to officials, The Times reported. People must register to use the app and the government is advising people to do so at least two weeks before they travel abroad. As an alternative they can apply for a paper letter but this is available only five days after the second dose and will take a further five days to arrive. The government website says: “From May 17, you may be able to show your Covid-19 vaccination status as proof of your status when travelling abroad to some countries or territories. “You can access your Covid-19 vaccination status through the free NHS App from May 17. You can access the app through mobile devices such as a smartphone or by tablet. Proof of your Covid-19 vaccination status will be shown within the NHS App. We recommend you register with the app before booking international travel.” It adds: “Demonstrating your Covid-19 vaccination status allows you to show others that you’ve had a full course of the Covid-19 vaccine when travelling abroad to some countries or territories. A full course is currently two doses of any approved vaccine.” However, it says: “There are not many countries that currently accept proof of vaccination. So for the time being most people will still need to follow other rules when travelling abroad – like getting a negative pre-departure test.” The advice adds: “If you do not have access to a smartphone and know that the country you are travelling to requires Covid-19 vaccination status, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 from 17 May and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine. We expect the letter to take up to 5 days to reach you. “Do not contact your GP surgery about your Covid-19 vaccination status. GPs cannot provide letters showing your Covid-19 vaccination status.” Source -travelweekly.co.uk
Gosh this all seems like it's a lot of work for something that should be temporary.

Like it or not, it is becoming increasingly apparent that we may have to have Covid Passport if we wish to travel between countries.

My thoughts are about those of us who are getting jabbed in countries other than our ‘home’ country (the country that issued our passport).

We are in this position as British Passport holders, who are getting the AstraZeneca (AZ) jabs in Portugal.

I understand that following the second jab we will be able to get an e-Covid Passport that we can download and print off. Alternatively, if we apply to the local health centre, they will provide a hardcopy passport.

Because there are 12 weeks between jabs and it is anticipated that international travel will soon resume, some are thinking of getting their first jab abroad but then flying back to the UK for their second and possibly third booster jab in the autumn. Question, how will they get a Covid Passport for future travel❓

To get around this, we intend to remain in Portugal and travel on a Portuguese Covid Passport.

Looking to the longer term, I understand one idea in the UK is for details of jabs to be incorporated into the NHS app and added as biometric details to or e-passports. Wonder how we will get our ‘foreign’ Covid Passport details added to our UK passports.

I suppose one solution would be to have a second course of jabs in the U.K. but this would seem a bit drastic and would it be safe❓

My final thought is that given a couple of years, as a better and ‘better handle’ on Covid, is gained the medical passport issue may just fade away. We don’t get passport to prove that we are up to date with flu jabs etc.

Any/all thoughts appreciated.?

Your continued participation and acceptance of this will be the downfall for us all.

My continued participation and acceptance of what will be the downfall of all of us❓

Sorry, not wishing to be obtuse but I haven’t got a clue what you are talking about❓

Are you suggesting, as OP, I should no longer participate in this discussion and what I’m I accepting that will be the downfall of all of us❓

Please clarify.

I've been a few times. The passport issue was always around Red Square - to the point that the Lonely Planet guide used to warn you that a) it was a scam and b) there wasn't much you could do about it.

Please explain❓


Hi Nortada,

I'm not sure why "they" are, that was one point. My real issue is with the poor folk, some which might be in this community, who can't get this so called "jab" for which ever reason, seems they are second class citizens of the future, this is no conspiracy, it's a real issue, that I'm not hearing a resolution for. How long will these passports go on for? one year? forever?

Sorry let me explain little, this for example, are you aware of what's happening back in the UK and in other countries? This is a system that is very well versed in communist China, points for being good, less points if you disagree with the political leader, but its making its face in the west, under the pretence of AI taking jobs, I wasn't meaning anything about contributing to this forum post, that you created, of course you can :) who am I to say otherwise :) . If you happen to delve into the system the government are bringing in, you will see where the issue of the Covid Passport and the HMRC recently seeking access to all citizens bank accounts (USA are looking to do this too), this leads nicely to a social system link in China. I'm just saying it here on the record. You can find much more on MSM or other. It might work out fine for people living and travelling on boats, as free money is good for people, and this is how things like this get votes.

If we stop looking at the covid news and pay attention to the other issues that are quietly happening. But anyway, back to that Freedom passport.

I really don't have a clue as to what you are talking about regarding a tinfoil hat to download it. The point I'm was making is that if you honestly trust that your data is safe in a NHS app. The NHS is renowned for having the absolute worst IT infrastructure know to man. Those that believe whoever "they" are must be wearing tinfoil hats :)

Oh dear, such a shame, each time I’ve been the people have been beautiful, friendly, far more then people in the UK, which is such a shame. But what I have seen in my time, is the traffic police taking their own citizens for an absolute ride and being dumped in jail for the night, for not paying a bribe. Unfortunately everywhere you look there is corruption, it’s just if you can be bothered to look, much in the west is done behind your back, in the east it darn right obvious :)

Sorry, it might just be me but I haven’t got a clue what you are on about.

This thread is simply a means to share knowledge and experiences to prove an individual’s Covid vaccination status to permit international travel.

No more no less.
