Wish I could rec this more than once. We have a wonderful country with all sorts of beauty and history almost everywhere. It helps our economy and the lives of those in the hospitality industry that have borne so much of the brunt of this bloody virus.

For those who worry about what happens when you travel abroad, why the hell are you travelling abroad in the first place? You may not have heard, but there is a pandemic going on at the moment! Yes, you may well have had both jabs, but are you really so very desperate to look for trouble, especially abroad. Stay in the U.K. and enjoy what it has to offer. You can go abroad next year. If everyone took a little more care we would have stopped the pandemic last year. Please engage your brain and think of others.

A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν, pan, "all" and δῆμος, demos, "local people" the 'crowd') is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people.

I have absolutely nothing on mine, but I've only had the first jab, so maybe I have to wait a bit longer.A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν, pan, "all" and δῆμος, demos, "local people" the 'crowd') is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people.
So not only a global pandemic, but a worldwide global pandemic! Even more, it may affect all humans on earth!

Doesn't it also affect certain species of other animals too? Thank goodness Servodude accidentally highlighted how imprecise many of us have been in our terminology.

The NHS app now has a specific screen to show your vaccination status (date of vaccination, name of vaccine, and batch number).
Why is that unfortunate? Isn't a vaccine record just an aspect of ones' heath record? C.production100 wrote:Unfortunately as I expected - with no security between the vaccine record and the health records.

The big question is that, no matter what form it takes, will the vaccination certificate on your little smartphone be accepted internationally?

When I had my jab, all my details were in their computer. Laser printers are fast. It simply needs a few seconds to print off a recognised certificate of vaccination.

"a recognised certificate"? Show me one. I have a laser printer, why shouldn't I be able to knock off a "recognised certificate" - regardless of my fully vaccinated status?stevensfo wrote:PS So why do we we have Patient Access AND the NHS app? Why not stick to just one procedure?
Historically the (for instance) Emis system interface was around before the phone App? Not everyone has a smart phone, even today.

Because all my Covid test certificates have, in addition to the details of the test, an address, contact details, telephone numbers and a signature from the doctor. This allows verification wherever necessary. I have Covid test certificates from the UK and Italy and they are all the same in this respect.
They check this at the airport. It's not difficult. The vaccination centres have our email addresses so in theory, it just mean pressing a button.
Otherwise, they can print out the certificate in 30 seconds.
