EU Digital/paper! Certs, the Megathread - threadbans in OP

Got mine on the 19th July

So because it takes the J&J 2 weeks to kick in I'll be turned away ??

(Nothing having ago at you btw)

You are fully vaccinated after 14 days as mentioned before.

Right, I am on again from 8.30am trying to get through.

Yup I connected to our American lady at around 830:30

There is no 'wait time is greater than 90 minutes' or will that be added later...

Was on for 2 hours before getting cut off yesterday but using Vodafone phone today that connects for longer.

Not everyone can wait to travel in September. Families with kids, that cannot afford the inflated prices of the Irish hospitality industry.

Every EU country had the Certificates ready before reopening.

It's the way that we assume that all will be grand, until it's not.

And then chaos and panic!

It looks like we never learned from it!

I got in after 1hr20mins.

Good luck to all.

People are already panicked about it,

That wouldn’t happen if they just anticipated this (again look at our history,) I get that some families cannot get away in September but what’s the rush in general? Ultimately they are going to run into issues in the first few weeks, if they expect any different than they are worse off.

Fair enough people want a break away but if the goal is relax, unwind and switch off than maybe don’t go abroad until all this dies down.

just my two cents

Can somebody please advise me on this,

I'm travelling to England by Ryanair over the bank holiday weekend.

Will paper Covid Vax certs be accepted both ways.

Will Ryanair take paper boarding passes printed off now?

What's the story with locator forms on the way back to Ireland, is paper accepted?

I can't really get ready answers to these elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Paper forms of all of these are acceptable. You don't actually need your vax cert when travelling between the UK and Ireland, but no harm to have it.

Though I'm not entirely sure why you'd insist on using paper forms for all these docs, they will be accepted.

A good majority may not be travelling for a holiday . There are 500k Irish in the UK and oeople havent seen them for 18 months . Many will want to travel to see children , grandchildren , parents , loved ones . I have a daughter in the UK who used to pop home every 6-8 weeks pre covid , we haven’t seen her since February 2020 and I am sure many more like us . We just want to see her soon and hopefully she can come now

UPDATE: Arrived this morning by email with all details correct.

You'll notice this thread has drifted from the original topic. The original topic was nothing to do with Covid certs, and is about a scheme to introduce a standard vaccination schedule across the EU to facilitate proper disease control across the bloc. As part of this scheme, a standardised card will be produced (like your driver's licence) so that when someone relocates within the EU, they can show their vax card to their doctor and pick up where they left off.

It is still in the realm of conspiracy theory that such a card would be used on an ongoing basis to restrict movement. Even the covid cert won't remain in use beyond the pandemic.
