Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 24 November 2021 to Question 78343 on Travel: Coronavirus, what recent progress has been made on enabling 12 to 15 year olds to prove their double covid-19 vaccinated status for the purpose of travel overseas.

Children aged 12 to 15 years old in England who have had a full course of COVID-19 vaccination are now eligible for a NHS COVID Pass letter for travel. Proof of vaccination will initially be provided via a letter including an internationally recognised barcode. A digital solution via NHS.uk is to be rolled out early next year.
