NHS Digital has established bi-directional live data flows to share vaccination data between England and Northern Ireland to update both the general practitioner (GP) record and NHS COVID Pass status. Individuals who have received one or more of their primary course or booster doses in Northern Ireland can access these details via the NHS COVID Pass, provided they are registered with a GP in England or otherwise have a National Health Service number. An in-person appointment to update their status is not required. Residents in Northern Ireland who received a vaccination dose in England can access their vaccination records via COVID-19 certification services in Northern Ireland.
