Booster not showing on NHS app

28 replies

KatherineJaneway · 19/12/2021 20:17

I had my booster last Monday (13th) but it isn't showing on the NHS app yet. Should I just be patient and wait considering since many are being done at the same time?

I worry I'll need to show proof for entry to places in the coming months and I won't be able to.

It can take some days. Mine took about four but that was just before Omicron. Busier now!

WishUponAStar88 · 19/12/2021 20:19

Mine took a few weeks even in September. It was there under ‘medication’ sooner though.

skaknalposiey · 19/12/2021 20:20

Mine was on the next morning.

Aimee1987 · 19/12/2021 20:20

Had mine wednesday. Wasnt there on Friday but just checked now and it's there.

AnyFucker · 19/12/2021 20:21

Mine was missing for a few weeks. It turns out, after getting fobbed off several times (including on here) that it hadn’t been recorded at source at all

Get on to the place that did the jab

Reallybadidea · 19/12/2021 20:22

I'd give it another week before chasing. I was told up to 2 weeks as they're super busy.

middleager · 19/12/2021 20:23

I can only see mine on the Travel version of the pass. Try that section.

SillyBub · 19/12/2021 20:26

I had my booster on the 13th. It was showing in the app by 10am on the 14th.

I would give it another week before chasing.

Thanks all, I'll be patient and wait before chasing 🙂

Don’t wait too long. I kept getting told to wait and I would have waited forever

DS has had to chase his first vaccination up as it hasn’t appeared on his record. As he’s had covid he’s only ever needed to show he recovery pass so hadn’t noticed it wasn’t on his app. We only discovered it when he went for his second jab and the team insisted he hadn’t had a first one- fortunately he had his card.

Mine is on there but Decembers has changed by a month from mid December to mid January. I would have expected the booster give me more than a month.....

Cookerhood · 19/12/2021 21:14

The vaccine pass on the app updates every time you log in & is only ever valid for a month (it does say that on the app!)

I meant the record of my vaccinations. If they bring in tighter restrictions, I might need to show proof of my booster jab.

I don't know what you mean? The date on the QR codes? My vaccine records don't have an expiry date, just when they were done.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 19/12/2021 21:39

@skaknalposiey

Mine was on the next morning.
Mine too.

Mine took less than 24 hours this week. I went to a vaccination centre attached to my GP surgery though so maybe the system was more closely linked to my GP records.

I mean the record that I had the booster jab. Both my first and my second jabs are recorded on the app. I can show those when asked I.e. Royal Albert Hall. No sign yet of the booster on my record.

I was also getting worried about mines not showing. It showed up on the page after about a week.

middleager · 20/12/2021 00:34

Only my first 2 jabs show on the medical record section. I read this was a common issue.

But go into Pass and click on the travel option. Mine appears there.

Thanks but mine is not there yet.

I had the booster on Saturday and it was showing on the app by Sunday.

Seee · 20/12/2021 05:28

Did they have your nhs number when you had your booster? If not it won't show up on your records or pass.

Tumbleweed101 · 20/12/2021 07:05

Mine was showing next day.
