No Vaccine Passport (update - Covid pass needed from 15 December)

[OnicknowlePete]

It is obvious that the LFT will be abused by some who don't give a fig leaf about their fellow supporters, but like many that will have had both jabs and the booster i take confidence that most of us do give a damn. What will be interesting is that if the decision is changed in future to say that only vaccine passes will suffice,

Like ddane... I have certificate stating my jabs & dates. Am assuming that this will be accepted ?

At a recent Lille home game I attended it was the now customary mask, security search and covid passport routine. 35,000 crowd - no fuss, pretty swift processing and nobody inconvenienced. Adequate numbers of decently trained stewards is the answer. No reason why it can't work at Home Park.

It would seem sensible to check as many season ticket holders as possible in advance. It would only need to be completed once.

Just to clarify, you DON’T need to of had a booster (or even booked one) as long as you’ve had your 2 jabs. You can d/l the certificate from the NHS app. To be honest I can’t see any great level of due diligence being taken by stewards / turnstile operators, the pressure will be on to clear supporters into the ground as quickly as possible.

If you do not have a mobile...does the paper certificate posted to us suffice ?

 

[IJN]

Yes.

 

[greenpig27]

Yes.

Thanks Ian

Yes of course, but like I said, I can’t see the stewards or turnstile operatives being put in a position to question or even give more than a cursory glance at someone’s “passport”. Who’s to say the name on the document even matches the person entering the ground as not every ticket will have the holders name on it.

Covid pass to be required

Good news all round. Should bring it in for all venues where multiple people are mixing. I don't trust anyone telling me they have had a negative LFT.

 

[Sherford Green]

It’s all a bit of a nonsense really. The stewards will have a cursory glance at people’s phones or paperwork but anyone could easily just take a screenshot of someone else’s covid passport or photocopy the paper copy. And obviously the lateral flow tests are easy to get round. Covid passports and masks have also made little difference to infection rates in Scotland and Wales but there we are. I don’t really care about having to show my passport as long as the queues are not unreasonable.

Does anyone know what the situation for under 16s is? I've looked and cannot see any detail. Ours have the one vaccination they allowed. Will they have to provide proof and if so how (we have their cards)? Or will they have to rely solely on LFTs.

Whilst looking for something else, saw this about U18's

Get an NHS COVID Pass

Find out who can get an NHS COVID Pass and how to get it

The bit that currently applies to you would be "People under 18 do not have to show proof of their vaccination or test results for domestic events or venues in England."
Hopefully the club will issue guidance on what is needed, how to get it etc, etc

Covid passports likely for Plymouth Argyle at Home Park

Home Park's current capacity and average attendance means fans will need to provide evidence of two vaccine doses via the NHS app before gaining entry

I read something about photo I.D. being required with vaccination certificates which makes sense.

Personally, since the "Emergency" act of parliament enabling various forms of mandatory restrictions on how we live is potentially forever, I am opposed. Others will have differing views, but I am surprised at the meek acceptance,
It looks to me like this has come about as a publicity stunt to deflect attention from Boris J.
Is the vaccination effective against omicron transmission? Seems not. For instance the Scandinavian party, 120 people attend all double jabbed, 100 contract Omicron.

Let's not talk down the vaccinations ghostie!
It may not stop transmission or infection but ithelps you fight the virus and not end up in hospital or engaged in a daisy-pushing competition before your time.
Vaccinations fight the disease, they don't necessarily prevent you catching it or dying of it. That's why those unvaccinated cannot lean on a herd immunity benefit!
Get vaccinated!!
