Commission proposal for a common vaccination card/passport for EU citizens
The ultimate goal of a vaccination passport would be to ensure that children who move between countries with different immunisation schedules do not miss out on crucial vaccinations. A similar scheme is already in place for pets and has helped boost vaccination rates, according to the European Commission.
They have gotten rid of the jazz music and now you have to listen to the voice message over and over again, argh I give up!!! I'm heading to France on Saturday to see my family and the pass is needed for pretty much everything over there, they will probably laugh at me if I show them my HSE card...
Same - rang at 8.30, still on hold. I wonder if there is actually anyone working there? Has anyone actually gotten through?
Continuation of my cert saga with GP involved. This time I was told by my GP that all details were sent to HSE by email (done yesterday) I assume it means that someone on HSE site has to enter them manually into relevant system. Does anyone with any knowledge of the process know how long does it take to do it? And how quick the certificate can be issued? Maybe HSE has an upload option so it will take less time? I’m just trying to give them few days before chasing them again but I was already told twice that they gave HSE data of all vaccinated in the practice where in reality they didn’t. So I’m a little unsure if to trust them this time.
Simply disgraceful wait time.
Why on earth they can't be emailed is beyond me.
We're on the phone here now with 2 hours 25mins. There's simply no logical way these phonelines are this busy.
Update: 6 hours and 23 minutes before anyone answered.
They have no record of my second dose so have to email in card and ID scans.
it will match on first name, surname and date of birth. that will be enough.
I think the problem lies in getting the covid cert to match the passport.
thanks a mil

Daughter rang at 8.30am. still on hold, now it's 10am.
She'll have to go to work soon.
This system is farcical.
Anyone know if you can add the cert to your Apple Wallet and how to do so if it is possible?
That is fine I think, similar to booking flight tickets.. you don't need to include your middle name(s) when booking a flight ticket. Some people have a lot of that them that won't fit on any form or ticket.
When registering via the portal for the vaccine, they ask for your “first name” but then uses this information for the “First name(s)” field on the cert.
I am now in a situation where the cert doesn’t have my middle names.
Does anyone have the same issue? Did you travel to other countries without problem?
Got my 2nd dose last Wednesday in the GP and haven't received it yet so no idea.
Edit: Must be a jinx or something but literally just after I posted this an email landed in. So a week for me
got my cert emailed today at 07:35am
so a quick turn around.
Apologies if this has been asked already but is there an up to date waiting time available for the paper cert?
Girlfriend got second shot today and doc submitted the details to hse while she was still there.
Thanks all.
Mine changed at valid at 00:00 on the 7th day (Pfizer). Yours should be 00:00 as well.
I was vaccinated on July 16th, and I am due to fly out July 30th which is exactly 14 days since my vaccination. I have my DCC, but does anyone know is there a certain time that my QR code will change to valid? I’m a bit worried as flight is at 7am.
Mid September by the times collages are back id reckon all over 18s will be fully vaccinated and have valid Covid Certs
This might be an odd one... Has anyone received two certs??
I got my cert in the post last week... all the info on it looked correct and I uploaded it to the Covid Tracker app. Then today another cert arrived in the post.
For anyone familiar with the cert, only the very last digit in 'unique certificate identifier' is different on the two certs, and the QR code looks different. But everything else is the same.
Any thoughts why I received two?
Yup
Why would a certificate of vaccination be valid before you're fully vaccinated?
You were accusing them of a "boo boo" sending it out early, so you obviously knew the rules, you're just annoyed they didn't work in your favor....
More or so getting my cert 2 days after vaccination confused me a little
Not the only one i imagine
It kinda went without saying really.
The wait time to be considered vaccinated is well known and its been well advertised what was considered fully vaccinated for domestic vaccine bonus
I’ve experienced this twice in the last 2 days while holidaying in Kerry. I got the 2nd moderna 13 days ago. 2 restaurants refused me when they scanned my cert. I presume it’s because it’s not been 14 days but they had no idea. Computer said no - so no entry.
I had not heard this mentioned in the media so I went on the stay cation assuming I’d not have this problem. What a load of….
Government kept quiet on the waiting period after your your 2nd dose/J&J 1 dose. Nowhere did it say your cert will not be valid till after the vaccine protection period
Ill be allowed inside to pubs from next Monday 2nd Aug (2 weeks from when i got my J&J vaccine)
Hi all looking for a bit of advice.
We just booked our holiday for next Friday hadn't really looked at or DCC now.
Both surnames on our certs are lowercase instead of upper case so both look like this O toole instead of O'Toole that would be on our passports... Will this need to be changed?
It is stated in the regulations on Page 5/Section 5 of SI 385. Link to it below.
“proof of vaccination” means a record or other evidence in written or electronic form in the Irish language or the English language or, where in a language other than the Irish or English language, a translation into the Irish or English language, that contains the following information:
(a) confirmation that the person to whom the record or evidence refers is a vaccinated person;
(b) the date or dates on which the person was vaccinated;
(c) the body in the state concerned -
(i) implementing the vaccination programme (howsoever described) on behalf of the state that administered or caused to be administered the vaccination to the person concerned, or (ii) that has been authorised to issue such record or other evidence to the person concerned, and i
Includes - (I) an EU Digital Covid Certificate issued under Article 3(1)(a) of the Digital Covid Certificate Regulation), and (II) a HSE Covid-19 Vaccination Record;
Rang at bang on 8.30 this morning and was waiting just over an hour selecting option 1 for ammendments. New cert was in my inbox by 3pm.
I rand bang on 8.30 but option 1 was what I needed so maybe they are prioritising ammendments?
The main purpose of the EU DCC is for travel not dining. Government has added dining onto it which no doubt is now adding to the helpline delays when it should have been made clearer your HSE cert is accepted .
