Re: Pfizer Booster for Delta
I'm also in Scotland and have had two AZN jags. On both occasions (at P&J Live/TECA/AECC) I was given a handout about the vaccine but no card or other info as in England, but I have downloaded the Scottish NHS app that gives details of the vaccines I've received and a QR code for getting into nightclubs etc. which was remarkably easy.

Re: Pfizer Booster for Delta
True but in practice there is reciprocity amongst most pairs of developed countries such that, for example, the US recognises a UK vaccination card and the UK recognises a US vaccination card. They even look fairly similar. If you visit the US you have to have the card; nobody there will know anything about the NHS app, although they might nod, smile and let it pass.9873210 wrote:Of course a foreign country also has no obligation to accept or recognize or accept an NHS vaccination card.

The online record is merely a "nice to have".
It's a complicated situation.
As you say it's complicated and it's probably best to have both
As such your card becomes as important a document as your passport, and woe betide you if you lose it. I have photocopies and phone photographs of mine, but would still not feel confident without the original, which I keep in my passport where it fits nicely.
Most who travel overseas will need proof. There are a number of countries where you need to show proof to get into a restaurant, bar or other public building. In California you even need to show proof to go inside a Starbucks (to drink in, but not to get a takeaway, oddly).swill453 wrote:So without learning about, and getting, the passport, you have no evidence of your vaccination.Dod101 wrote:In my part of Scotland I had the Astrazeneca leaflet given to me when I had my initial vaccines in the early part of this year (both at my doctor's surgery) Then a few weeks ago I had my booster jab at a community clinic. It was Pfizer and again I was given a leaflet about it.
OTOH I know nothing of a 'vaccination passport'.
But then most of us don't actually need proof.
In some ways the UK is the odd one out, in having relatively few requirements to show proof.

Re: Pfizer Booster for Delta
Not being funny but maybe being dim. Which was remarkably easy, getting into nightclubs or getting the Scottish NHS app? If the latter then maybe I should take a look.daveh wrote:I'm also in Scotland and have had two AZN jags.

The NHS app. I haven't been in a night club this century. I downloaded the app to my phone. It asked me to take a photo of a photo ID ( I chose my driving licence) and a selfie. It then compared the selfie to the photo ID said that me was me provided more info on my address etc that I had to confirm, set up a pin etc and then it was live giving details of my two jags or a QR code, (you could switch between them). I was impressed how well it worked.Dod101 wrote:Not being funny but maybe being dim. Which was remarkably easy, getting into nightclubs or getting the Scottish NHS app?
