European medical certificate (1 Viewer)

[Sundowners]

European parliament are planning a "sanitary certificate " this will be for every european to enable them to travel.
It is proposed to contain their history regarding covid-------- had covid/ negative test/ vaccine.
So when ( dont know how long it will take to organise it to suit all eu countries!!)
It seem like we are not going to be able to travel without one--------'no idea if britain has been consulted on this?? But i believe britains will almost certainly have to have their (approved) version of it to cross the channel???
This info came from " portugal resident"
I dont know how to link to it!!

Cyprus are allowing us in from May 1st if we can prove two jabs. The tourist industries will dictate government policies in the end.

 

[Pausim]

Could be a good selling point. I would much rather book a holiday where medical certificates are required. Having sacrificed freedom and survived this far I don’t intend to put myself at any more risk than I need to just for a couple of weeks in the sun.

How can we "prove" that [at the moment]?

But with no EU internal border checks how will enable or stop internal travel?

We have had our first jab 4 weeks ago and were given an NHS Covid vaccination card, which recorded when we were vaccinated, the type of vaccine and its batch number. We were told to bring it back when we come for the second jab so that the slot for that could be completed as well.

The instructions say to keep it in your purse or wallet, so we do have proof of vaccination. Where it will be accepted is another matter, but will be keeping mine safe. So, at least we have some official record of our Covid vaccination(s).

Maybe - at what cost - and acceptable to border and/or travel companies?

Yes I got one of those, they'd run out of cards, so mine is a [colour!] photocopied scrap of paper .
The problem with these, are handwritten, and no official stamp or signature.
I doubt they would be acceptable to 'officialdom'.

One hole one jab, two holes two jabs...no holes ain't going nowhere...

If the EU issue a covid travel card they will surely need to accept similar cards from other nations across the world otherwise EU incoming tourism would cease.

It's going to be for each country (or in the case of Schengen each linked area) to set their own rules. No different to Australia and NZ having really strict travel isolation at present. Some seem to feel its their right to be allowed into other countries while we have a right to control who enters ours which I think is really strange.

Mine is a proper card and entry not handwritten, they stuck a printed label on with the info. No official stamp or signature, but a lot better than nothing. Certainly work in the UK, I would think, but not sure about Europe, which is outside of our control.

It will have to be readable & acceptable to any countries border people.If they can't read it it is worthless.

...for you perhaps but something like that has to be of a standard to be acceptable to officialdom, which these appointments cards are obviously not.

Something will be worked out.
Just take time.

We were given a small card with date/data details, (both jabs) do ya reckon that’ll do ?

For Europe, no. It will have to have EU stars, be signed by a President or Commissar, be approved by all 27 countries and be printed in France. That's the way they work. Don’t hold your breath

Other countries may be much easier with the proof.

 

[TinaLes]

Gonna need to fit a filing cabinet in the Motor Home at this rate especially when those with dogs travel to Europe.

Can’t see why not. No doubt someone will be along to tell us they’ll be cloned, forged etc. That’s true for every document so not really any difference. Passports , driving licences can all be forged.
I do hope our blue vaccine cards will be acceptable, it would make it easy for pubs, restaurants etc to quickly check their prospective customers have been vaccinated.

You have access to your GP records so just take a screen shot and print it out yourself.

Mine is recorded on the My GP app and online on Patient Access.

It would have to be presented together with a passport since without a photo folk could use someone else's GP record, App, or vaccination card.

There are already fake ones you can buy on the internet!

We have just applied to have access to our medical records before the potential rush but hopefully there will be a vaccine passport soon.

& the Polish border official is going to understand that?
For me whilst I have to have 3 tests just to enter the UK & quarantine, no one should be allowed over here without the same restrictions.

Just checked my 'EMIS' medical records and my first jab is correctly recorded on there. It's listed in the medications section.

You can share parts of your record, in the case of this subject it can be just the medication section. To share you are given web page link and an access code which is valid for 24hrs from your request and can be cancelled at any time in that period.

Don't know if this will ever be of use to confirm Civid-19 vaccination but is is available to patients.

I think the forgery thing just needs a big enough penalty to deter use of forgeries. In the case of foreign travel if found using a forged vaccination certificate maybe 10 years loss of passeport.
