Parents or guardians of children aged 5-11 years can now obtain a digital NHS COVID Pass

Parents and guardians can now request a digital NHS COVID Pass for travel for children aged 5 to 11.

This provides a record of the child’s vaccinations and proof of a positive COVID-19 NHS PCR test in the past 180 days.

Travel letters for 5-11 year olds who have received a full primary course of a COVID-19 vaccination, as well as recovery letters showing proof of a positive COVID-19 NHS PCR test in the past 180 days for this age group, are already available.

Digital passes can be requested by parents or legal guardians via the NHS website.

They will need to have access to either the mobile phone number or email address on the child’s GP record as it is not available via GP practices.

Further details can be found on the GOV.UK guidance pages.
