NHS App – Proof of vaccination status

From 17th May 2021 the NHS App has a new functionality for proof of vaccination status

• The new functionality has gone Live today in the NHS App (in advance of Mon 17th go live date)
• This uses NIMS data (NOT GP record data) and therefore does NOT need any practice involvement for a patient to register for the App and access the covid information
• The status displays separately (and differently) to any GP record information, if a patient has record access enabled – GP record access is NOT needed to be able to access the Covid Vacc Status
• The Covid Vaccination Status is on the first screen when you login to the App (screenshot below)
• As far as I am aware, Mon 17th May is still the date for 119 to be able to provide letters to those who are unable to access the NHS App
