Vaccination card for booster

[PheasantsNest]

Are you supposed to be given a new card for a booster? My DH had his today and was told they only give them for first and second and not the booster. I was given one at a different vaccination centre.

Where I had mine weren’t giving them out. They didn’t have enough staff to keep the queue moving and write the cards up. It will all show on the online records anyway

We either add details to the old card or more usually give out a new one.

But he can always look at the NHS app for the record.

We got a card.

I got a card.

I got a card but have no online proof. The boosters rollout is a bit of a shit show, tbh.

Mine is not recorded on the NHS app

Does anyone know how long it takes the booster to show up on the NHS app? I had mine last Monday but its not showinh on my app yet.

It seems to vary where you have it done.

What do you need a card for? I binned mine, couldn’t think of a use for it

@BurscoughBooths As a record of the vaccination.

The covid booster isn't showing up on the NHS App.

The story emerged a few days ago.

NHS Covid Pass: Holidaymakers face travel bans because app cannot display third booster jabs

Travellers find they have no way to show proof of recent booster jabs as foreign nations introduce ‘expiry dates’ for vaccination validity

It's a terrible App, terrible recording system, and terrible database. I hear they're reliant on obselete spreadsheet software, not modern relational databases. I wonder if people can get snail mail letters, as for the first two jabs?

Yep got card. So delighted to have booster now!

It really is.

People want
(a) to able to book a booster (or 3rd primary vaccination if eligible) without running into an administrative shitshow,
(b) for that vaccination to be accurately recorded, and
(c) proof, for if and when they need it, eg travel

But no.

@PheasantsNest, I got a card. It was an old card, with '1' crossed out in biro and '3' written next to it. Not terribly official looking tbh!

Yep, I got a card and it had the batch no on which my first two didn’t. I hope they sort out the app soon as other countries are already stopping you come in without proof of a booster

How do you get it onto the NHS app begin with? Does it happen automatically?

Hadn't realised there are two NHS apps

This really is a shit show isn't it!

Had my booster on Thursday at local hub, previous jabs were at GP surgery .
On the NHS app , if I go to View your GP Heath Record - Medicines - Acute short term Medicines , the booster details are listed together with those of the previous vaccinations. HTH.

I asked about a card and as told they weren't giving them out as it would all be recorded on the system. Hoping my GP has a record of it, as it isn't on my app with other doses.

Why are you even buying into this BS? You have had 2 vaccines in the last few months and now they want you to have another? 3 in the space of a few months? Is that even safe? When are people going to stop and question this complete nonsense or is this your lives now?

I've had three meals in the last 24 hours. So fucking what?

You people are beginning to drive me nuts.

I would understand if nobody was getting the boosters recorded on the NHS app but some are and some are not.

No, Tana433, I wanted another.
My choice.
As it is yours.

I got a new card with a sticker on but if you take your earlier card they put the sticker for booster on the back.

DH had his booster 3 weeks ago and still not shown up on the NHS app. I had mine last week and also not there.

I was delighted btonget it as second one was in May and cases in my kids school are rocketing. DH is CEV so we were delighted to be able to get our immunity up to peak levels.

Fully expect to get on every year with flu, we are very lucky.

Glad I read this. No card no booster for me. I only do this for proof to travel so I won’t.
