NHS App - Covid Vaccination details and much more

England’s NHS app has been updated and now shows details of all Covid Vaccinations when patients have had both doses of the jab.

A paper version is also available - by calling 119; this is not available via the GP practice.

The NHS app is separate to the NHS Covid-19 app, which is used for contact tracing.

Signing up to the NHS App is easy and gives much more than your Covid Vaccination details - it will also allow you to order medication on line. No forms are required and all identification details are checked electronically and will save a visit to the practice.

We recommend all patients sign up for the NHS App to have a record of their Covid vaccination status, using the NHS App will allow you to prove your Covid Vaccination status if required.
