• Abroad is a big place and the rules will vary loads?

    Apparently you can't get vaccinations administered abroad added to the NHS national vaccination database so will not show up as jabbed in the NHS app etc.

  • This isn’t happening, NHS app consistently telling people that they can only recognise people vaccinated in England and Wales or Scotland only if you live in England/Wales and are registered with a GP in England/Wales. As a result, no covid pass and no recognition of any overseas vaccines by test and trace. Spent a few weeks trying to sort this out over the summer and the conclusion is that while my GP records and medical file shows me as fully vaccinated, for the purpose of all the rules (except travel), I have to follow the unvaccinated rules as the central database can’t be updated. Was meant to have been fixed by the end of June but as of mid October it was still not possible for my GP to do anything.
    The travel rules are great, vaccine recognised so no need to quarantine but if anyone on your plane tests positive in a post arrival test then you get contacted by test and trace to isolate for ten days and told your vaccine isn’t recognised as it wasn’t done in England or Wales.
