Isle of Man residents requiring proof of their COVID-19 vaccination status for international travel, in the next fortnight only, can now request a letter from Manx Care.
The measure has been put in place as a temporary solution whilst the UK NHS continues its work to make the NHS COVID Pass available to Isle of Man residents via the NHS app.
Minister for Health and Social Care, David Ashford MHK, said: “With COVID-19 vaccinations progressing around the globe, many countries are now putting in place measures to waive testing and isolation for fully vaccinated travellers. There is, however, no agreed international system for proof of vaccination status and the rules around how this will work are still emerging and vary from country to country.
“I know this uncertainty can be frustrating, especially as we adjust to live with the virus and return to some sense of normality, including international travel.”
“Issuing letters as proof of a person’s vaccination status is a short term, interim solution whilst we await full access to the NHS app. This is a manual process and so letters are only available to those who are travelling outside of the UK in the next two weeks.
Anyone who urgently requires a letter for international travel in the next fortnight only can contact Manx Care on 650800 Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm.
