Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy not to enact the requirement to have a booster jab in order to be exempted from the requirement to take a lateral flow test before attending major events until the paper version of the covid-19 pass is able to record that a person has had their booster jab.

Visitors to settings in scope of mandatory certification are not required to complete testing if they have received two doses of an approved vaccine, one of the single-dose Janssen vaccine or are exempt from requirement to be vaccinated. We intend to change this requirement to include a booster dose once all adults have had an opportunity receive it.

The Travel NHS COVID Pass letter includes details of an individual's COVID-19 vaccinations, including booster doses. Booster vaccinations are not currently required for the Domestic NHS COVID Pass letter.
