The Great British Vaccine Hunt: How to Prove You're Officially a Superhero (of Germs, That Is)
Let's face it, in these strange times, your vaccine record is kind of your new passport to freedom. Travel? You might need it. Fancy a night at the disco (or should I say the socially distanced disco inferno)? Vaccine record, please! But where on earth do you find this magical document in the labyrinthine world of the NHS? Fear not, intrepid explorer, for I shall be your guide!
Mission 1: The NHS App - Your Digital Defender
First things first, have you downloaded the NHS App? It's basically your pocket-sized NHS butler, and it holds the key to your vaccine record. If you're 16 or over and have an NHS login, you're in! Just log in, navigate to the glorious land of "Your health," and then with a triumphant tap, select "Check your COVID-19 vaccine record." There you have it, your vaccination history in all its glory.
Subheading: Uh Oh, I Don't Have the NHS App!
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Not a problem, adventurer! You can still access your record online [check your COVID-19 vaccine record service]. You'll just need your NHS login details for this daring mission.
Mission 2: Operation Paper Trail - For the Analogue Adventurers
Maybe you're more of a traditionalist, a lover of the rustle of paper. If the digital world isn't your cup of tea, you can request a letter to be sent to your registered address. Just be warned, this might take a daring 5-7 working days to arrive. Patience is a virtue, my friend!
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
