NHS Covid Pass

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to add proof of the COVID-19 booster vaccination to the NHS COVID-19 pass; and when they plan to do so.

Answer

The NHS COVID Pass can now be used to demonstrate proof of a booster or third dose for outbound international travel. This is available through the NHS App and on NHS.UK. Booster vaccinations are not required for domestic certification in England. In light of the recent advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation to extend the booster programme, we will keep the inclusion of these doses for domestic certification under review.
