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.
Just watch them having to reissue the certs again because they're not according to the EU standard... Or more likely, not doing anything about it but people having trouble with the certs when traveling because the officials in other countries complain about the weird date format.
My mother got her original cert by post, presume she'll get the booster cert the same way.
You can ask for it to be posted out when requesting on portal I think
Thanks for clearing up, thought it might have been some error related to software provider.
Why is the date on them in US format, are all EU countries using this?
Thanks very much! You're more help than any Government agency. Kudos!!
In the Covid App, delete the existing cert and scan in the new QR code, and it updates everything.
I received a new certificate this morning by email. Scanned the QR code with the camera and got a message "No usable data found".
Then used the QR scan and got just gobbledygook and lines of code.
How are elderly people who were vaccinated by gp and not asked to supply email address to receive their new cert? My mother's over 9 months since second dose so will need the booster update for travel in a couple of weeks.
Got mine last night. Boosted in mid November.
Delete old cert in app to upload new one. Works well.
Got mine this morning.
Did anyone get an updated digital cert yet?, they were supposed to be issued from last night but nothing in my inbox this morning, hopefully they are being issued in batches - would be nice to hear that's the case and some have received.
There should be no certs full stop regardless of the reason.
Thanks 👍was afraid to do it without knowing it worked for someone else first!
Wife got hers I deleted the one currently stored In her covid app and scanned the new code from email on my phone
Shows 3 jabs received and date of last one
Anybody boosted get an email with their updated DCC by pdf tonight ?
Have the original on the phone with the Covid tracker app but does not appear to be functionality to upload this new bit to it ...maybe they won't be .
Just a few links in the mail about travel .
They can fook of with their certs, I've had my vaccine. Enough is enough.
They are very reluctant to let go of the whole covid cert thing despite how ineffective it is. Omicron spreading like mad everywhere what harm is a few more plane loads of infected folk going to do?
Thats really **** that there is no system in place for those who cannot get vaccinated. I hope that a doctors note will just do the job and can use that to enter restaurants until an official cert is given.
My fiancee got a blood clot, her mum had a brain aneurism (luckily they caught it in time and she's fine) and her cousin went 60% deaf in one ear, all since getting the vaccine. I got mine and feel fine, but I did notice that since I got it, the right side of my head seems more congested, and even get some weird ear rumble in the mornings after waking up, almost like tinnitus.
I believe in the vaccine and will get my booster eventually, but in the case of my fiancee, her mum and cousin, they all don't want to get a booster, or even the 2nd vaccine in my fiancees case, purely because the things they went through are too coincidental with the vaccine. In these sort of cases I think a medical exemption cert should be issued, really hope they hurry on with it.
I think it'll get pretty close to be honest, mainly because of the international travel aspect, that I don't think is going anywhere any time soon and people quickly get fed up paying for tests.
It’ll be interesting to see how it’s managed by gov, booster uptake surely won’t be as high as 93% and if the virus retreats over the next few months it will be a hard sell to hospitality and the public.
Legislation will be needed for that.
So for the moment here, yes for travel only.
Not just travel. They’ll be needed for pubs and restaurants here too. Covid certs are looking like being part of everyday life for the foreseeable future.
Flagged up before Christmas and agreed upon at EU level recently that a new cert would be needed for travel, at least they're (the government) getting the finger out before the 1st and issuing them in advance. Will solve the issues a few posters have mentioned on the travel thread that are going to France or Austria for example and need proof of booster on their cert.
New certs on the way

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.
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?
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.
If such a vaccine passport already existed you wouldn't have your issue.
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.
