How to access your COVID-19 vaccination status
Through the NHS App
You can access your COVID-19 vaccination status through the free NHS Appfrom 17 May. You can access the app through mobile devices such as a smartphone or tablet. Proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status will be shown within the NHS App. We recommend that you register with the app before booking international travel.
By calling 119
If you do not have access to a smartphone and know that the country you are travelling to requires COVID-19 vaccination status, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least 5 working days after you've completed your course of the vaccine. We expect the letter to take up to 5 working days to reach you.
The letter will be sent automatically to the address registered with your GP. The 119 call handler you speak to will not be able to see your address to check this with you. If you've recently moved house, make sure you've given your new address to your GP practice before calling 119.

Do not contact your GP surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status. GPs cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status.
Longroyde Surgery has been working with practices in our locality, also known as Lower Valley Primary Care Network (LVPCN), to provide the Covid-19 Vaccination Programme to our patients. The programme has been a huge success to date with great uptake and feedback from patients. We are midway through vaccinating patients with the 2nd vaccine and could have this completed by mid-June. As the LVPCN has already agreed a plan of clinics and staffing for the next 4 weeks to ensure we deliver 2nd vaccines within the originally agreed 12 weeks, we are currently unable to increase the number of these clinics to be able to offer the 2nd vaccine at 8 weeks. LVPCN has discussed our position with Calderdale Commissioning Group (CCG) and they have given their support for us to continue with our vaccination programme timetable as planned. People that are due second doses in June/July will be offered a second dose in June (or as soon as possible after this). We hope that you will understand and appreciate the great work that has been done by the practice teams and support us during these challenging times.
