Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to recognise covid-19 vaccinations administered outside the UK for use with the NHS Covid Pass.

Currently, United Kingdom residents vaccinated in the United States of America, the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Australia and Canada with the Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Janssen vaccines can be certified using the NHS COVID Pass. A National Immunisation Management Service record is required, which can be obtained by calling 119 and will include attending a regional vaccination centre.

The service currently has seven sites capable of reviewing vaccination evidence with further expansion of the service planned in due course.
