If you've had a positive COVID-19 test, you need to wait before getting any dose of the vaccine.

You need to:

  • wait 4 weeks (28 days) if you're aged 18 years old or over
  • wait 12 weeks (84 days) if you're aged 5 to 17 years old if not immunosuppressed
  • wait 4 weeks (28 days) if you're aged 12 to 17 years old and at high-risk from COVID-19

This starts from the date you had symptoms, or the date of the positive test if you did not have any symptoms.

Demonstrating your COVID-19 vaccination status – the NHS COVID pass

 Need to demonstrate vaccination status?

Please do not contact the surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status.  Like all GP Surgeries, we cannot provide COVID-19 certification.

However, patients can demonstrate proof of their COVID-19 vaccination through the NHS COVID Pass, and it can be accessed using the NHS App.   An NHS COVID Pass, shows your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination details or test results.

The NHS COVID Pass is a way to show your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination status or test results if you need to when you travel abroad.

You do not need to show an NHS COVID Pass for domestic events and venues in England.

If you don’t have a smartphone to access the NHS App, the NHS COVID Pass is available in other formats. 

For more information on the NHS COVID Pass, who can get one, how to get one, and what to do if yours has expired, please visit the NHS COVID Pass web page by following this link:>>

 

More information about the NHS COVID Pass for specific groups

For patients who are members of the UK armed forces

Members of the UK armed forces need to visit the 'My health care hub' on the Defence Gateway (login required) to find out how to get their NHS COVID Pass.

For patients who were involved in COVID-19 vaccine trials

If you were vaccinated as part of an official clinical trial in England or Wales, you can get an NHS COVID Pass for domestic events and venues.

You'll be able to get an NHS COVID Pass for travel soon. Some people already can, it depends if your clinical trial site has put your vaccination information on your NHS vaccination record.

If you cannot get an NHS COVID Pass, contact your clinical trial site.

Check the entry requirements for the country you're visiting.

For patients who are unable to get vaccinated

You can apply for a medical exemption if you cannot get vaccinated, or vaccinated and tested, for medical reasons.

You'll be able to get an NHS COVID Pass for domestic events and venues when your medical exemption is confirmed.

Find out who can apply and how to apply for a medical exemption by following this link to GOV.UK:>>  

For patients who were vaccinated abroad

If you live in England and had your vaccination abroad in certain countries, you can ask to have this added to your NHS vaccination record. Once it is added you can get an NHS COVID Pass.  For information on how to tell the NHS about the coronavirus (COVID-10) vaccinations you've had abroad, follow this link:>>
