WQ.310/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 21st JUNE 2021
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 28th JUNE 2021
Question
Will the Minister advise what arrangements are in place to ensure Covid-19 vaccination certification is valid for individuals, including students, who receive their first dose in the U.K. and their second dose in Jersey?
Answer
From Tuesday 29 June we will accept proof of a complete course of an MHRA-approved vaccine from anywhere in the world.
Also, from 29 June, it will be possible to submit evidence of vaccination from more than one jurisdiction as proof of fully-vaccinated status. This means, for example, someone who has received their first Covid- 19 vaccine in England and second Covid-19 vaccine in Jersey, will be able to upload details of both these doses separately, and evidence of single doses from different jurisdictions will be accepted in combination.
In line with the above changes, we are developing a single dose letter to ensure that those who have received one dose of the vaccine in Jersey have secure evidence of this dose; more information on the timeline for the production of this letter will be confirmed shortly.
At this stage, we are still in discussions with other CTA jurisdictions about the production of Covid Status Certificates for those who have received one dose of the vaccine in Jersey and one dose elsewhere. In the meantime, we hope that the arrangements as outlined above will support those who have not yet received a Covid Status Certificate.
In parallel with all the work outlined above, we are continuing to progress towards a digital solution by the end of July, which will provide evidence for those who have received one or two doses of the vaccine in Jersey in a digital format.
