Re: Europe July.????
In Wales a paper (remember that!) certificate was issued on request.
We do not all have (or want) the latest technology.
This is in addition to the card given at time of vaccination
The certificate contains details of vaccine, dates and the place of vaccination.
It has a scannable barcode which I understand contains the relavent details numbers etc.
I am told it will be accepted by the authorities.

Re: Europe July.????
It's all upthread, but I recommend carrying a paper record when travelling abroad.

We can get a paper copy sent in England too, but you still have to request it online or by phoning 119 and it takes longer than downloading and/or printing your own. Like jdsk, I would carry a paper copy of such an important (for now!) document, in a waterproof container. I hope that the ones posted out have longer validity than the two-day one currently offered for download.PDQ Mobile wrote: ↑29 Jul 2021, 10:25am In Wales a paper (remember that!) certificate was issued on request.

The card given at vaccination in England contains nothing that can be authenticated. It is primarily a reminder for the patient and will not be accepted for anything without further credentials.This is in addition to the card given at time of vaccination

Re: Europe July.????
I merely posted as information for anyone interested, if it was upthead and I missed it sorry for duplication.
The technology side of it is just two fold.
One is an unwillingness to enter a hamster wheel catch-up on always having the latest update etc.
And the second is a personal distrust of reliability and more.
Actually you are advocating avoiding the technology, of course!
Because of the unreliable nature of the beast, just when you need it most!!
Re: Europe July.????
My Covid vax record is on my NHS app (not the track and trace thing but my medical stuff). I can access it on my phone.

Yes I understand the card given at vaccination is not a travel document.mjr wrote: ↑29 Jul 2021, 12:54pmWe can get a paper copy sent in England too, but you still have to request it online or by phoning 119 and it takes longer than downloading and/or printing your own.

In conjunction with the paper certificate though it adds authenticity.
There is no expiry of validity that I can see.
I imagine expiry will by determined by what the authorities consider a duration of protection from any given vaccine.
It must be said, in the interests of balance, that one can still travel to most places without vaccination, subject to negative testing and quarantine.
Re: Europe July.????
For some of the documentation the duration of validity is a lot shorter than that, eg 2 days. I recommend checking before relying on it.PDQ Mobile wrote: ↑29 Jul 2021, 1:46pmI imagine expiry will by determined by what the authorities consider a duration of protection from any given vaccine.

Yes, though the batch number of the vaccine is not visible on your screen shot.
It might not pass muster at an international frontier. Maybe it's "deeper in"?
I can't access the NHS app.
Therefore I have paper copy.
Totally happy about that.

There (and back again) in record time.

Re: Europe July.????
Indeed there is; I have just generated this from my NHS app (suitably redacted - I hope).
The vaccine given, batch number and the location where the vaccine was administered are all stated.
There is a separate QR code for each dose; the one shown is my first dose but I have had both - you can swipe right to get to the next one. If you download the PDF you get both codes in the same document.
It gives an expiry date 30 days from now, although there is also a note at the bottom to say that the 2D barcode refreshes every time you log in. The PDF one you can download is also valid for 30 days. I don't know of any version which is only valid for two days.

Re: Europe July.????
Of course all the relevant information will be there. What I am not clear about is if it is compatible with the EU app on a practical level: is it the same as the EU one when you are an Italian bar owner and want to ensure that a customer has been vaccinated. That bar owner would not want to open a different piece of software on his reader or whatever. And what are the security measures? I ask because there are reports that the EU one is not quite as secure yet as was hoped.
Re: Europe July.????
What I can't understand is why the QR code has an expiry date. If it gives dates and batch numbers for doses those batch numbers and dates will not change after a month e.g. 1st dose 1 May 2021 batch A0001 and 2nd dose 1 Aug 2021 batch A0002 then that information will be true on 1 Sept 2021 and will be identically true on 31 Dec 2025. Dates given and batch numbers used will not change retrospectively.scragend wrote: ↑29 Jul 2021, 2:40pmIndeed there is; I have just generated this from my NHS app (suitably redacted - I hope).

But, valid until dates are as yet unknown and I suspect will initially be subject to different interpretations by different countries for different ages groups with different vaccinations e.g. in UK a 65 year old having AZ for initial doses may require a Pfizer booster by 1 Oct whereas in France different age banding might be chosen with different booster dates and, a UK person visiting France may be subject to the French booster requirements rather than the UK booster requirements. Until the WHO establish a dosing regine (e.g. as for Yellow Fever) there will be no consistency and "valid until" would be interpreted by the QR code reading software subject to local guidelines.
