Advice is clear; double jabbed mean you can get tested while going to work

I'm sure I was supposed to update the app at some point with my vax status?
The NHS App has vaccination status.
The NHS Covid-19 app is the one that powers the pinging thing.
I haven't deleted the NHS Covid-19 app as some places I go to still require people to scan their QR code to come in (although most don't care the odd one has insisted). I have disabled the 'Contact tracing' mode in the app though, so I won't ever get pinged through that.
If you're worried about it then do some lateral flow tests every other day. And/or book a PCR test via https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test . One of the reasons for getting a PCR test with no symptoms is "you’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive" which sounds like it covers your situation. You can get it posted to you and then you post it back when done and await the result, or you can book yourself in at a test center and do it that way.

In your position I wouldn't self-isolate but I wouldn't delete the app either. If you test positive for some reason many weeks from now you will be able put that result in the app and then the people who registered your app pings who aren't double jabbed can self-isolate.

Got pinged by the app a few days ago. I'm double vaxxed and having googled it advice says I needn't isolate even if a housemate has Covid.... so what the fuck.
I'm sure I was supposed to update the app at some point with my vax status? But it's actually as clear as mud. My info / interactions with the Zoe app are so very much more useful.
I've deleted the app. I can't be taking time off work because clusterfuck.org.gov can't sort it's advice out. Am I being reckless or is the app just as shite as I think it is?
