Fortunately I have a printer, which many people won't. You can also get the printed certificate in a day or two through the post. But hey! this is the future, we're reaching the stage when everybody will need to be given a free basic smartphone for society to function. I requested a printed certificate this morning but was informed they were unable to process my request and I should try later. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also download the certificate and QR codes into your documents on your phone. 👍 Tried clicking the button this morning 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back to stage one three or four times but always failed again at the face photo. Fortunately I have he paper download with Q code so I'll be going tomorrow. BBC Scotland are reporting that Hearts are saying that you won't get in without the download, which isn't true and I've sent an email to point that out, I hope they correct it. Hearts need to also correct that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It’s a mess. Any sensible body would have delayed the actual implementation of this to the 18th to give people time to get their copies, hard or digital, in place. Too sensible ?

"Therefore, everyone attending matches at Tynecastle – home and away fans – must be fully vaccinated and must bring proof of this vaccination status with them to the game, unless exempt. Supporters attending from the rest of the UK and the broader Common Travel Area (including Republic of Ireland) will be able to use their existing Covid Status apps with QR Codes or paper-based certificates. Visitors from outside the UK can use proof of vaccination from the country they were vaccinated in." There's nothing saying that it must be an App, I think it's clear enough.

This. I’ve got the QR codes saved in my phone files, but the app doesn’t work. Hopefully that will be sufficient.

Not seen any mention of required numbers tbh. 1 in ten would be sensible.

weegie jambo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I stupidly left it too late to get the vaccine passport and now won't be going tomorrow. I've applied for a paper copy, as I don't have one of those big fancy Iphoney things, but I'm told I could wait up to 10 days for it to arrive. Trying to download a paper copy proved impossible, as despite having an NHS Covid ID and Username it still wouldn't let me into the site. So I had to phone a real person and jump through numerous security questions before they would talk to me and send out my paper copy! I do have a letter inviting me for a 3rd jag and had thought about turning up with that as it proves I have had my first & second jag but thought it might be a hard sell. So it's a day in the house and a dodgy stream for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of reasons I think. one is that our tech-savvy young people all carry phones but they don't all get vaccinated for some reason (which I won't get involved with). Getting them to download the app means they don't have to print or send for a paper copy and carry it about with them. Second, it underlines to them that this pandemic is still here and dangerous. No vaccination, no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
