How to get a digital NHS COVID pass

Posted on March 16th, 2022

NHS digital NHS COVID Pass information can be found here on this website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/get-digital-covid-pass/

How to get a digital NHS COVID Pass

There are 2 ways you can get a digital NHS COVID Pass

You can:

download and use the NHS App to get your NHS COVID Pass if you’re aged 13 or over
use the online NHS COVID Pass service if you’re aged 12 or over

Once you have your NHS COVID Pass you can download it as a PDF or it can be sent as a link in an email.

You need to be registered with a GP surgery in England to use the NHS App.

You’ll be asked to create an NHS login if you do not have one already.

What is NHS .

How long a digital NHS COVID Pass is valid for

A digital NHS COVID Pass is valid for 30 days. The 30-day period refreshes and starts again each time you log in.

If you have an NHS COVID Pass for travel based on a positive PCR test, the 30-day period will refresh for up to 180 days after you took the test.

If you use the NHS App for your NHS COVID Pass, it may ask you to confirm your phone number when you log in. If you do not confirm it, your NHS COVID Pass will be valid for only 72 hours.

If you download your digital NHS COVID Pass as a PDF it will be valid for 30 days. Always check the expiry date before using it.

COVID-19 Vaccination Programme

COVID 19 Vaccination

Primary care has been entrusted to vaccinate all patients aged 50 and over and we will be doing so by strict order of priority as advised by the JCVI .

We are all running a text/call service using a system called AccuBook. If you have a mobile phone, you will likely receive a message from your GP surgery inviting you to make an appointment for your jab. If you do not have a mobile phone, you will get a phone call instead.

At the same time, NHS England is setting up a central NHS booking system for its sites, including the one in Stevenage. It is therefore possible that some local residents will receive both a text/call from their local GP and a letter from the NHS about the site in Stevenage. It is possible that you might get the letter from the NHS about the Stevenage site first, and this may well be confusing for some. You as the patient will have a personal choice. If you choose to go to Stevenage, you can. But you are not obliged to – you can get your jab in Maxted Road, Hemel Hempstead, once your GP gets in contact.

Please make sure that you book your appointment for your Covid Vaccination as soon as you can when invited.

If you book your appointment and cannot attend, please remember to cancel your appointment using the link shared in the message.

We have recently been having a lot of patients booking their vaccine at Maxted Road and not turning up. This takes away an appointment for another patient and wastes considerable resources at our site.

Please protect yourselves and protect those that you care about. Get your jab.
