Vaccine pass to be updated

-

Updated versions of the Covid-19 My Vaccine Pass will soon be available, as current passes are set to expire.

From May 24, updated passes will be available to download for those aged 12 and over who are up to date with their vaccinatio­n. For those 18 and over, it will include booster doses. The updated pass will have a refreshed design (but it will still have a QR code) and an expiry date of six months from the date of issue, the Ministry of Health has advised.

In April, the Government removed the requiremen­t for vaccine passes to be used to access certain events and venues. While the passes are no longer legally required, some businesses can choose to keep them as a condition of entry and people are encouraged to have their pass for when it might be needed.

All current My Vaccine Passes expire on June 1, or earlier, depending on when the pass was first requested.

You can request a new pass through My Covid Record (external link), by calling 0800 28 29 26, or by visiting a participat­ing vaccinatio­n site.
