GO AGAINST COVID 19 | What Are Vaccine Passports And How Would They Work?

What is the NHS COVID Passport?

The NHS COVID Passport is a digital certificate that proves your COVID-19 status, allowing you certain travel freedoms. The Pass shows either your vaccination details or test results.

Anyone over the age of 16 in England can get an NHS COVID Passport for international travel. The NHS COVID Passport gives you greater freedom to travel and attend other events across the UK.

How and where can I get the NHS COVID Passport?

You can get your Pass in 2 ways:

· You need to have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. To travel abroad, you will usually receive your pass within 24 hours of having your vaccination.

· You must have recovered from COVID-19 within the past 6 months. To travel abroad, you will need to have had a positive PCR test within 6 months and have finished self-isolating and subsequently tested negative.

The NHS COVID Passport is available digitally, either using the NHS app or website. You can download it as a PDF or get it sent to you in an email.

Your digital versions are valid for:

· 30 days after your vaccination(s), but the 30-day period refreshes every time you log in.

· 48 hours after a negative PCR or lateral flow result.

· 30 days after a positive PCR test, but the 30-day period refreshes every time you log in (for up to 180 days after you took the test).

You can get an NHS COVID Passport letter sent to you in the post, but only for proof of vaccination, not test results. You will need an NHS login to be able to access your COVID Passport. If you don't have a login, you'll be asked to create one.

Champs Elysées Paris|2.7km from city center
While the location is outstanding the hotel lacks key service like restaurants, room service and concierge . Only one person at the front desk who is always busy doing everything ( check in and out, cashier, housekeeping, information, etc. ) you have to wait for along time to be answered on any questions!!! I have notified the hotel ahead of time that we are on our honeymoon and requested a king size bed but ended up with two beds!!? and there is not any honeymoon arrangements

My husband and I stayed in a Superior Double Room for two days at the beginning of March. We had a wonderful view of the park and the Eiffel Tower. The room is beautiful to look at, but a little damaged in some parts (for example the shower). The biggest problem of the room was the ventilation system, as it smelled of the drain several times. The cleaner does her job, as she cleans the room daily, but the problem is exclusively ventilation. I might also point out that you can hear the chairs being moved in the bar in the room. I would also suggest that a different choice of breakfast be made every day, as it was the same breakfast twice. However, I would like to conclude by praising the staff, who were friendly at all times.

Montmartre Paris|3.08km from city center
Me and my friend booked three nights here over the weekend. The hotel staff were lovely and helpful during our stay. Breakfast was as described (a simple continental). Good wifi was available, room was a decent size, bed was comfy, good shower water pressure although it was slightly too short for anyone over 5’6 but we coped. Cleaner came every day but did leave the window wide open and we were on the first floor facing the front so not quite safe. Area itself is nice in the day but at night we felt unsafe as two young women so opted to stay at the hotel as it got dark. During most of our stay, electricity was fine but twice it did go out in the plug sockets for a few minutes so we couldn’t charge or use any appliances. Overall, we got what we paid for and it was a good budget holiday and would recommend if you’re not looking to spend loads.

Roissy-en-France|1.68km from city center
I stayed for 3 consecutive nights in total, but in order to go sightseeing in Paris, I had to use the subway to go everywhere, and since I couldn't use the bus properly, it took me over 30 minutes to walk to the nearest station. , it was a little far. However, it was late autumn and the autumn leaves were beautiful, so I was able to travel to and from the station in a very healthy way!

We stayed for 2 nights, this is a casual aparthotel, nothing special about it. Comfortable with most of the things we needed a bit far from city center. Breakfast was reasonable but under pressure to eat fast and go away! Not the right way to start the day.
