Regarding Certificates or Evidence about your COVID Vaccination Status

We are unable to issue certificates or evidence of your COVID-19 vaccination status at the practice.

For further information, please visit www.gov.uk/demonstrating-your-covid-19-vaccination-status-when-travelling-abroad.

Proof of your vaccination status will be available in the NHS app from 17th May 2021, and in some of the other apps that provide you with Patient online services.

The NHS app can be downloaded from:

If you have not used it before, there is a self-registration process within the app to create an “NHS login” as per www.nhs.uk/nhs-log-in.

If you already have access/ login details for patient online services, for example, “Patient Access”, you may use this.

Alternatively, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine. The letter may take another 5 days to reach you, or more if postal services are affected. Please take account of this when making your plans.

Kind regards, South Reading and Shinfield Group Medical Practice.
