PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
NHS Covid Pass (14 July 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether people who have contracted covid-19 but not been vaccinated will be afforded the same status as those who have been fully vaccinated when restrictions are lifted.

Asked by:
Sir Alan Campbell (Labour)

From 19 July, the Government have made the NHS COVID Pass available so that individuals can prove their vaccination status. The NHS COVID Pass is available through the NHS App, NHS.UK, and in letter format. Certification for accessing settings through the NHS COVID Pass can be acquired by completion of a full vaccine course, a recent negative test, or proof of natural immunity. Natural immunity is proof of a positive polymerase chain reaction test, lasting for 180 days from the date of the positive test and following completion of the self-isolation period.
