davecttr Posted March 24, 2021 #251 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Just received yet another email from P&O regarding my 21st August Iona cruise. This one was emphasising P&O's vaccination policy regarding the summer cruises. I wonder if they are getting bookings from people who have no chance of meeting the criteria. Proof of vaccination details still to be announced. Also says the cruises are for UK resident COVID vaccinated guests only. With the 12 week wait for second jab plus a week or is it two for full protection you will need to have your first jab by either the 15th or 22nd May, that excludes a LOT of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success at last - logged in, and discovered...... all it does it link you to your GP practice, which I already have online access to. And in the case of our GP practice, what you are allowed to see is very, very, very limited. You can order repeat prescription, see when the next medication review is (but not what the review results are) and book GP appointments (but not with the nurse, and not since the first lockdown started). There is not even a section - anywhere - for vaccinations, flu, covid or otherwise. No other records available at all. There is a vast range of online systems for GP practices, they are apparently not compatible with each other, the NHS log-in did surprise me as I thought after going through all that security it might show a bit more information - such as my covid vaccination, carried out at an NHS hub, not the GP surgery. So in my case, using the current information on the NHS app as proof of vaccination is not going to work unless and until they add a section for vaccinations. Better not lose that card, then.... sigh. Are you in Scotland if so there is no intension to add any further info. This is all it is going to do for the foreseeable future. Also no cards given out at vaccinations to anyone I know (covering many areas of Scotland). No idea how we will prove vaccination except with a doctors letter at £50 to us and driving the GP surgery bonkers for requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many people book their second jab date in the same process as their first, they will know the second date plus seven days. I guess they are intelligent folk and know that is the earliest date they should book their cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If P&O set some rules, folk should follow them. I expect you are right that people will always try and bend them. I think P&O should ask for proof at some point before sailing, not at the dock.

As long as they give us enough time to procure the proof once they know what it needs to be. We also have the issue of what exactly are the insurance requirements for these special cruises At least we have a few months before final payment date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardennais Posted March 24, 2021 #258 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Remember when I took my father for his first jab and noticed a box full of vaccination cards in plain sight?

Very true, but if that bit of my card had not been filled in, I would have said " excuse me miss, but ". No doubt there will be a digital system soon.

Thing is, there are always some people who will behave unethically and there will also be some people who will do anything to ‘prove’ that they’ve had the jab. Most people are honest and wouldn’t nick merchandise from a shop as you describe, but a minority possibly would be ready to pocket a few cards ‘just in case’!

ann141 Posted March 24, 2021 #266 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I had a routine telephone appointment with my GP this morning and asked if I would be able to view my covid vaccination details online so that I could print something off to show as proof.She said it is more likely to be done through an NHS app because GP's would be inundated with requests.Seacation cruise isn't until september so am sure something will be sorted by then.

Vaccine passports will no doubt be digital. Anybody forging a card need their bumps read. They endanger themselves.

majortom10 Posted March 24, 2021 #272 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Come to the conclusion because of so many variants of how the card has been filled in or not that the one given when you are vaccinated especially as it has been handwritten then it will not be used officially to prove vaccination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted March 24, 2021 #273 Share Posted March 24, 2021 My latest worry is that if verifying your vaccinations is via GP letter and your GP refuses for whatever reason you are up the creek without the proverbial. I don't think it is likely that an electronic version will be available by July/August 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragilek Posted March 24, 2021 #274 Share Posted March 24, 2021 what is used for other countries that require proof of vaccine - yellow fever etc. A doctors letter seems the easiest thing in the world to forge. surely it can't be that? On saying that that's what we used to carry about for my daughter when insulin pumps first came out to show she could not go through an airport scanner and to explain carrying needles.

We book our repeat prescriptions online now, and I recently requested online access to my patient records, and the data is all there, I have not studied it in detail yet, so no idea if I can just access a vaccination list, or maybe even just the Covid record, but it is there on the date administered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
