Can't I get the vaccine card online instead?
Yes, but you will need an EVDS number to access the digital system and download the Covid-19 vaccine certificate.
Those with vaccination cards but no EVDS number can call the Covid-19 Hotline on 0800 029 999.
A notice on the website states that only those who are fully Covid-19 vaccinated can receive their digital certificate.
A digital QR code will be generated after certain details are provided, and this can be downloaded or printed.
“The QR code generated is not intended to be readable by the public, it is meant to be used by entities requiring to verify the card’s validity, using a Vaccine Certificate System inbuilt QR scanner, which will be available in the near future,” the website states.
