Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether covid vaccination passport information will be destroyed in the event that vaccination passports are not required.

The NHS COVID Pass does not store, share or further process any personal, health or vaccination data, nor does it capture any new information. All the information displayed in the NHS COVID Pass is derived from the National Immunisation Management System (NIMS), the System of Record for the NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme in England. NIMS retains vaccine data for six years from the last event date and is reviewed at that point to determine if there is a need to retain it longer.

The NHS COVID Pass service will continue to evolve in line with Government certification policy.
