NI vaccine certificate availability extended by Department of Health

Northern Ireland vaccine certificates are now available for those travelling abroad up to and including August 17, it's been announced.

The certificates provide Northern Ireland citizens with official confirmation that they have received both their COVID-19 vaccinations in Northern Ireland.

They are available in digital format – via an app for your phone or a pdf file for printing.

If you cannot apply online, you can request a paper version by phone – this process will take longer than the digital process and it may take up to 10 working days for the printed paper version to arrive.

Since the Northern Ireland Vaccine Certification Service was re-launched on Saturday night, 8,452 certificate applications have been received and 7,622 certificates issued.

Work is ongoing to further enhance the resilience of the system, with a view to opening it up for all applications.

Until then, applications should only be for the specified dates.

The Department says it will continue to prioritise those with the "most immediate requirement".
