📧 If you were vaccinated at a HSE centre - you'll get the Digital cert by email by Thursday.

✉️ If you were vaccinated in GP/Pharmacy/Hospital - you'll get it by post by next Tuesday.

The #COVID19 Tracker App will be updated to allow people to upload their Digital Certs to their phone wallet.

Canavan says Cert will be issued once the final vaccine dose has been administered.

Of course, people are only fully vaccinated one week/two weeks after the dose, depending on the vaccine.

So the Cert won't wait the week/two weeks in which people become fully covered.

This has been fairly on the hoof.

Tánaiste said Certs for people who’ve recovered from Covid would be valid for nine months - it’s actually six.

Minister Martin said GPs would issue Certs - they actually won’t.

😕

ℹ️ About 130,000 people have been COVID positive over the past six months and would be eligible for the Digital Certificate for people who have recovered from #COVID19.

Of course, a good number of them will probably have been vaccinated in the interim.

That's why people who have recovered will need to contact the call centre themselves to prevent duplication.

Michael Lowry got his vaccine in the GP and wants to know when he’ll get his cert in the post.

(The intention is that they’ll get it by Monday 19th - and certainly “within a day or two”)

☎️Ok, so the emergency helpline for people imminently travelling is 1800 851 504.

Officials *pleading* with the public not to ring the line if they're just waiting for their certs. It's for emergencies. Don't overload the emergency line.
