Proof of Covid recovery for Italy - 12YO?

[RiseAgain]

So, fingers crossed, we might be headed to Italy over half term. We should all be able to get in, but once there, there seems to be a bit of a problem with my 12YO.
He had covid on October, so his first jab had to be delayed and hence he won't be double-jabbed by half term.
In order to get the 'super-green pass' in Italy, he can also present proof of Recovery + one dose of vaccine, so in theory he should be fine. However, we have a UK specific problem as under 16s don't get QR codes here. I called 119, they refused to issue any letters/passes until my DS has had his second jab.
My GP's office is very helpful and potentially willing to write a letter describing his Covid status, but I am not sure this will be universally accepted. Anyone had any experience of this?

I’ll ask my friend. I’m Italian too, but I know he’s been in Italy for Xmas with an unvaccinated teen and managed to get him a pass via proof of recovery. He did say, nonetheless, that it took him 3 visits to the local health authority to get the boy’s proof of recovery “translated” into a proper QR code pass that places would recognise. It was a mess over Xmas there (not too different from here…) so system quite overwhelmed.
If you’re staying for only a few days and going to small places (ie mountains) I can see that being a challenge, I would not expect too many local officials speaking English, or to keep the office open more than the bare minimum and with booking only.

We recently had to obtain a certificate of recovery for son to go to usa, although he had the app which reported he had completed quarantine we were advised by airline to obtain official certificate which unfortunately we were only able to obtain from private clinic , there are lots of them on line , cost £140 😳 we just did not want any problems at check in

Thank you! I sense we will have problems getting him into restaurants etc and will be at the mercy of people's goodwill of whether they will read his certificate or not

It might depend on where you go and when and how strict they’ll be at the time. But if you can get it “transferred” to a barcode somehow it’ll be fine. There’s an app called VerificaC19 which many venues use at the entrance, it’s designed to recognise the barcodes of all European passes etc, if he manages to get a document here in the U.K. you can install it on your phone and try.
It’s restaurants, museum, public transport, the full monty now that requires this…

So, my friend said he went to the local office of ASL (the equivalent of the local nhs) at the department of prevention (dipartimento di prevenzione) and they have them a bar-coded green pass

(Good luck with that if you don’t speak Italian! Sorry!)

I am Italian, a certificate of recovery will be enough, you don't need to be vaccinated as well. You can get a QR code by linking your child's account to your nhs app, the GP can do it for you. You need your child to complete a proxy form to give you access to their medical record first.
