So I'm going to a festival at the start of Sept that's likely to require a QR code or vax status confirmation. Is there a workaround?

Is there a workaround? You now not only get an official letter of your vaccination status from manx care, but you get one from the DHSC too, absolutely free* *terms and conditions apply. These may not work and it is up to you to check that they do before you travel. You will not be rescued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Manx Care letter head shows no IOM Government connection there’s a second letter from DHSC on IOM Government linked letterhead to confirm the validity of the first. You really couldn’t make it up! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we urgently need the app to work or be able to use the vaccination status website to get the QR code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 10% of the adult population have not been vaccinated. Let them crack on with it. Good luck to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent a fortune re-branding it all to Manx Care but nobody ever seems to have thought - hang on, maybe we’d better make the letterhead and logo look official as a health provider just in case other health authorities want to take our documentation seriously. It’d be easy to add something on the Manx Care certificate to say it’s the mandated health care provider of the IOM Government. It’d be easy also to print a QR code with the necessary biometric info, name, date of birth, address, passport number or other ID, date of vaccinations, type, authorisation, plus batch number. It’s not rocket science. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
