• I know his experience is frustrating, but this is a bit of an edge case, no? It doesn't really exemplify the systematic failure of the COVID passport scheme. This is someone who has had two doses of a vaccine in two different countries on two different continents being asked to prove that to a third country ... It wouldn't exactly be my first priority when designing and implementing such a system during a pandemic.

  • Yes and no.

    I'm in France (arrived yesterday) and am double jabbed in the UK / have an NHS covid pass.

    I can't go to any restaurants or some shops / venues like swimming pools because the French app won't accept the UK QR codes.

    That doesn't feel like an edge case considering the number of people planning to or currently holidaying in France from the UK.

    Fuck fuck fuck

    We are booked to go to Corsica next month. Is there no way to get UK vaccine passport accepted in France?

  • Looks like there is a lot of confusion as British vaccinations should be acceptable

  • There was no problem with the GF last week.

  • Yeah, I completely agree with this, and I don't think it is fair or sensible. I'm in the opposite boat, and am very happy with the UK government (for once) in that they will recognise the EU COVID passport. It means I can come back to England and see my folks for the first time in almost two years, (and pickup my new Fairlight bike, but that is obviously secondary).

    What I meant was that adding the extra complication of the US, and I assume not even having a UK Covid passport (or whatever the equivalent is called), is an extra complexity that maybe isn't the biggest priority.
