Hello,

Has anyone flew to Portugal recently from the UK. I have got my NHS letter confirming my jabs but there is no barcodes on the letter whatsoever. Wonder if it will be accepted in Portugal.

Also do I need to book a Day 2 test for my 5 year old before I return to the UK?

    I can only answer your last question. And the answer is yes. Only 4 year olds and under are exempt from doing testing. You also need a test.

    Are you able to access the NHS app? Mine has a barcode on it.

    I don't use smartphones so my only option is this NHS letter that I have got.

    Was your confirmation letter provided by the NHS after calling 119 and requesting a copy of your vaccination record - or just a letter or print out from your GP?

    You can obtain a letter from 119 or if you have a trusted friend with a smart phone perhaps they will allow you to set up and access your NHS account so you can download via email a printable vaccination record. That has a QR code on it.

    You will need testing for Portugal, as there are no exemptions.

    As above, you can obtain a letter by calling 119 with a barcode.
