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.
yes, just have it done online before flying back.

Thank you, very helpful.
Hi,sorry if this has been answered ( long thread). Just received my booster and am due to travel Spain in Jan,if my QR code is not updated and I in trouble.
I applied for my EU DCC at the beginning of November when they opened it up to Irish citizens who have been vaccinated outside EU but still no luck. I was on the chat with someone but it was no use. I've provided everything that is required. Just hate having to carry around the little bit of paper. They say it is up to the authorities abroad and the time varies. Why have an online portal, if they are not ready to accept or process?
i was boosted 3 weeks ago and asked the doctor about it and he said there are no plans right now, and that the QR code that you got now should be ok. bring the card that they signed just in case.
Thanks for the reply did a bit of googling and seems the EU cert is good for 9 months after 2nd jab. Agree on bringing the card.
I would be interested in this also, its seems like a major oversight for the millions of EU citizens who live outside the EU.
Why did they say it was up to the authorities abroad? Are they trying to verify the cert with wherever you got vaccinated?
It appears that way but not clear if applications are just sitting somewhere. They are waiting for a "template" from the US health authorities. After I asked how long it would take, I got a canned response that it varies per destination. My application is "on hold".
Interesting. Thats pretty strange. I know with other EU countries that accept non-EU proof of vaccination (the now-ended French one during the summer for example) all you had to do was submit a photo of your proof of vaccination and they accepted it very quickly based on that.
I don't know how the Irish government would even verify US vaccinations. Even aside from the manpower/logistics issues on our end in Ireland of doing something like that for every application, theres no federal database of whos vaccinated in the US. Millions of people just went to pharmacies, local health centers etc for theirs and all they have to show for it is the paper CDC card...
Once they opened it up to Irish passport holders overseas, I applied immediately. It took two weeks but it did come through. It's a weird scenario as I now have a digital cert for my vaccinations when the country that provided me with the vaccinations still can't get me a digital cert ( the country in question has a digital cert system but due to developing nation incompetence, they have not been able to add me!).
Good to hear the system is working at least, even if slowly. Did you just submit a photo of your CDC card? Or what proof did you use?
Good to know. Of course, I have my booster now so and some point in the future that will have to be added (?) too.
I provided a photo of my vaccination card - which included the basic details i.e. date/vaccine type/vial serial no. / national id no. of the person that applied the vaccine - their signature, etc. The system was looking for a digital cert - and insisted on me providing a translation - so i uploaded the very same copy of the vaccination card. Thankfully, they didn't insist on an official translation for the few words that were on the vaccination card!
My national ID number (for the country in which i was vaccinated) was included on the vaccination card rather than passport number - I thought they might come back looking for a copy of my national id to match up with the vaccination card but they never did.
If they give you a cert for the initial vaccination, I doubt there would be any issue in them updating it.
Sorry if this has already been answered in the thread - I got my 1st jab in England 2nd in ROI - i need Covid Certicate - i cant do it online as i dont have PPSN- tried ringing there helpline numbers 1800807008/0035319036457 this lines ant going through for last 3 days.
Please can someone advise on any number or how i can get my certificate.
Need to travel back to work tomorrow 30th.
How did you get it here in the ROI without a ppsn in the first place?
@airy airy i dont understand your question. You can vaccinate anywhere, you dont need to be a resident and so i didnt need PPSN to be vaccinated. I have a family in ROI.
How'd you manage the first time? Having family here is irrelevant. Ring them. Might be on holidays til next week tho.
How'd you manage the first time? I walked in a vaccine centre i got jabbed. Showed my first vaccine card.
How did you get it here in the ROI without a ppsn in the first place?l didnt need PSSN to get jabbed neither to get here as it wasnt a requirement.
Ring them. i am
So what's the issue?
Non - just answering your questions!
So, why ask the question in the first place? You've got a number to ring....
The QR code for 2 vaccinations is accepted without any problem.Just complete the Spanish Government Heath declaration before you travel.48 hours before you travel you must declare on the form online that you are free of covid or symptoms.Then arrange taxi to get on the plane.On your return from Spain complete the Irish locator form online from 72 hours before arrival here.
Okay my biggest issue here is, my vaccination records are strewn across 3 different countries and something like 5 different medical systems. I have no idea how I would even begin to gather the supporting documentation, except that I know a standard schedule for each given country for the given time was followed. I had titers done in the one case where I wasn't sure if I received a particular vaccine.
If such a vaccine passport already existed you wouldn't have your issue.
I don't think such a thing could have possibly existed when I was getting my childhood vaccinations. I understood the roadmap to cover all vaccinations, not just those for covid.
Is there any sort of medical pass certificate if you can't get vaccinated? My fiancee got her first vaccine at the start of December, but has now developed a blood clot behind her knee (She had varicose vein surgery which apparently makes you prone to clotting).
Went to A&E and the head nurse said she shouldn't of got the vaccine and said not to get the second one, so now my fiancee doesn't want to take her 2nd one but is worried she won't be able to get any sort of certificate. Would seem unfair to not give medically exempt people certificates to go to places like gyms or cinemas.
I know UK has something like this but is there anything in Ireland?
There's currently not, also no redress scheme for those that are injured from the vaccine as yet. Unfortunately the companies that make the product have no liability for injuries incurred. It will be up to the State to compensate, if proof of injury can be determined. I cannot understand why Ireland has no medical exemption option from the Covid Cert - the U.K and NI both have this option.
New certs on the way
