Measles

Measles cases are on the rise in the UK. Make sure you know what symptoms to look out for and how to protect yourself

Regarding certificates or evidence about your COVID vaccination status


We are unable to issue this certificate at the practice. We do not have access to this documentation.
Please see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/demonstrating-your-covid-19-vaccination-status-when-travelling-abroad for further information.

Proof of your vaccination status will be available in the NHS app from 17th May 2021 which is also valuable for accessing your health record and ordering repeat prescriptions.


The NHS app can be downloaded from https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/nhs-app/id1388411277 for iPhone or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhs.online.nhsonline for android.


If you have not used it before, there is a self-registration process within the app to create an “NHS login” as per https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/nhs-log-in/
If you already have access/ login details for patient online services, for example “Patient Access”, you may use this.


Alternatively, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you.

This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine, and the letter may to take another 5 days to reach you, or more if postal services are affected.  Please take account of this when making your plans. Â
