​

• Within 24 hours of registering your medical records and immunisations will be viewable.This will give you proof of any Covid vaccination you may have had for travel or social events.

​

• If you are unable to access this App you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and request a letter to be posted to you.
