Dear All Patients,

If you have had any Covid vaccination outside of England, it will not automatically appear in your NHS records.

We can add your vaccine to your GP record as long as we have the following:

Date of vaccine

Brand of vaccine e.g Pfizer

Batch/lot number of the vaccine

With this information we can update your vaccine history on your record, however the vaccine will NOT show in the NHS App.

Please click on the link below and follow the instructions to update your medical record and app with vaccinations received abroad:

Please note as the GP we do not have access to the NHS App and cannot edit its content.
