Does anyone know if it is possible to get any kind of proof of vaccination if you don't have (and don't want to register for) an NHS number (other than those little hand written cards)?

If you've ever been to the GP or treated on the NHS at hospital, you will already have an NHS number. You just might not know it.:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

Did the person in question give name, date of birth and other details when they got the jab - because I doubt there will be any way of getting proof they had the vaccine if the NHS has no record that they were the person who got the vaccine. The NHS app specifically says you need an NHS number, but the online version does not say this - I haven't tried it so can't say for sure.

This proof business is quite a problem. I'm currently out of the UK but the Pfizer jab would be available here which I could have as a booster. However, I don't want to do that as I wouldn't have any proof for use in the UK. Therefore, I'll have to risk travelling back etc without my booster.0

@rexmedorum , at the moment you can't add a foreign vaccine to a UK record (it seems you want to do this), but I believe can use an internationally administered vaccine in the same way as a UK one for a number of countries avoiding the need for an LFD.💙💛 💔1 -
