Question
Has an equality impact assessment been undertaken into the fact that whilst booster vaccinations will show up automatically on the digital NHS COVID Pass, they will not appear automatically on the COVID Pass paper certificate?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
I continue to work with partners, including the UK Government to ensure that the paper certificates are able to reflect booster jabs and I hope that this service will be available in January – the same time as in England. Boosters, have been available on the digital service since the 27 November.
I am continually updating impact assessments associated with the covid pass.
