Our offspring were in Scotland during Covid (work/studies).
They had both the two main jabs up there....& are both back in England, got their boosters here.

Neither have electronic record of the first jabs (one had registered with the docs there, but still no record or login to NHS Scotland app).
One in Manchester has investigated getting the records (for travel), and has been told they could ring 119, then key 1, 2, 1.  Was told to attend Etihad Stadium (I assume a Covid Centre up there!) to get the pass updated.

This sounds faintly bizarre to me.....
Anyone know if that process will work?   
The other one also wants to get it sorted....he will dial the numbers later, but I wondered if anyone had experience of getting this sorted out!

Thanks!
Plan for tomorrow, enjoy today!

    Did they get blue envelope letters inviting them for a jab ?
    Have they tried here https://vacs.nhs.scot/csp?id=csm_login  
    There are some links for finding / recovering user name etc

    One either got a blue letter or email/text, the other was a student, went with a pal to a drop-in!
    The latter tried that login - set up an account, asked to be verified, but then wouldn;t go any further.
    All slightly shonky really...if only NHS Scotland spoke to NHS England 🤷‍♂️

    If their vaccination status is showing as having the booster surely that determines that they have had the 1st and 2nd jabs! 

    https://www.nhsinform.scot/nhs-scotland-covid-status/ There is a phone number for requesting a paper copy of your status.

    Our paper copies show only the 2nd and 3rd  doses although obviously we have had the 1st.

    Well: I can declare with some confidence that calling 119 is a pile of 💩
    She got to the Etihad (other side of Manc from her work):
    119 told her she only needed her vaccine appt emails, but the people at the Etihad told her she had to ring her GP and get proof of what batch she had, etc.
    119 told her specifically that she didn’t 🤷‍♂️

  • There is a freephone helpline for NHS Scotland.
    0800 111 4000
    Might be worth a try.

    To get your record from Scotland you need to log in to the NHS inform website. To do that you need the user name from the blue letter. If you don't have the user name you can retrieve it by saying forgot user name, entering your personal details and the date of your last vaccine in Scotland. Alternatively the number to phone is 0808 196 8565. They should arrange to send you a certificate. 

    Amalgamating records for people vaccinated in different countries has been difficult from the start but eventually, England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man agreed a process to get their records shared. 

    I see Scotland has added in other countries now, but to use this service you need to be resident in Scotland. 


    Request an update to your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination record | The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine (nhsinform.scot)

    England must have a similar process - once you have the QR codes from Scotland you / they should be able to contact the records people in England to get their full status.
