Covid pass for 12 year old - help!!

Anyone managed this yet. The NHS website say they are available from today - on App for 13+, via NHS website if 12. But no actual
Info about how to get it.

I have my son's account linked to mine on NHS app, but his vaccines don't show and no covid pass option. Tried to get it on NHS website but you cant make an account if you are 12. GP practice has no idea and am going round in circles - travelling to Austria at half term

Any tips v welcome!

I'm amazed you got a linked profile for your son. My GP keep saying this can't be done. Confused

I've just enrolled my 12 year but set up their own account (separate email to mine). Uploaded passport photo and did facial scanning. They are saying it takes 24 hours for ID checks to go through if they pass.

I'm amazed you got a linked profile for your son. My GP keep saying this can't be done.

A lot of GP practices have not had communications/guidance from central NHS as to how to set up and link profiles as yet. Work in progress, I'm guessing.

Hi How did you get it? Did you have to create an account with your kid’s email? Please help!

@questionsneverstop I've only just done this today for my 12 year old. Set up a new account this morning and approved by this afternoon. Shows her 1st jab and Recovery Pass barcodes.

Thank you. I wonder whether my son will get it. He has just turn 12 two weeks ago, he has the first vaccine on Friday and we are flying to Italy on 10th april
