The NHS App

COVID-19 vaccination status can be accessed through the NHS App from 17 May, for International travel.

The service will not require data provided through the GP record as the information is taken directly from the vaccination service.  People should register with the NHS App before booking international travel, at least two weeks before their departure date once they’ve completed a full course of vaccinations. Those without a smartphone are being asked to call the NHS helpline on 119 from 17 May and ask for a letter to be posted to them.

Vaccines given abroad will not show on the NHS app, even if they are on your GP record.

If you wish to use the NHS app for ordering repeat prescription and booking appointment, you will need to have registered for Online Services with Essex House. The first time you do this, you will need to come to the Surgery and provide photo ID.
