Should I have been given a piece of paper?

Had my third jab last week. Although I was given a piece of paper he first two times, I did not recieve any this time. The NHS are still texting me to get a booster so appear unaware on that system at least that I've had it. Is there a danger that it has been lost to the system and I won't be able to prove vaccination status?

The text seems to be sent out en mass whether the recipient has had the booster or not.
I've never been given a piece of paper after a vaccination.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

Text alerts are going to everyone. The NHS App will have a record of your vaccination status. If you need to evidence it.0

As above, it's on your NHS records. No one will accept a piece of paper as evidence of anything.0

As Torry_Quine says, the texts are going out to all and sundry whether you've had a booster or not.
When you say 'piece of paper' what exactly were you referring to? When I had my booster I got a card with the details of the specific vaccine I'd had, plus an information leaflet about the vaccine.
The booster also showed up in my NHS app within a few days, although I am guessing it might take a bit longer at this time of year with bank holidays, staff on leave etc.0 -

You can get your NHS covid pass by email as a printable PDF and we have used our twice going abroad.
Much easier than fiddling with phones at check in.
And it now shows all three jabs.2 -

When we went for our boosters (mid Nov), the nurse wrote the details on the bottom of the little blue card that I'd had since FebruaryThe guy who did Mrs B gave no written confirmation - just saying that the info would be on the NHS app in due courseWe also had the generic text on Sunday evening1
