Dave78 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Been showing my vaccine certification (it's linked to your Covid tracker app) in Ireland to get into pubs/restaurants for months now. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big deal. It is if you're not vaccinated for whatever reason. Not sure all 18 year olds in Scotland will be double vaccinated by 1st October.

The pub didn't ask, so there was no problem. It'll be the same in Scotland i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you can’t get the vaccine for medical reasons there will be a way round it? It is ridiculous that they have only given people 3 weeks notice though when it takes at least 8 weeks (is this still The case?) to get double jagged.

I understand there are exemptions for people who have been unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons. Vaccination has been open to everyone over the age of 18 in Scotland since the end of May. Anyone over that age who is not fully vaccinated- aside from those unable to for medical reasons - is because of their own choice, not a lack of availability.

No big deal. A bouncer checking phones at a pub door is one thing but checking 50,000 phones in an hour or so is a bit different. It’s got farce written all over it.

Just send your unvaccinated pals a screenshot of your cert to flash at the ticket guy, job done 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you some unvaccinated people have bought tickets for the Israel game (or any number of other club games or concerts or whatever) and now won’t be able to go. The Scottish government more or less said they wouldn’t be introducing vaccine passports and now they have changed their minds and given folk 3 weeks notice. The English have had a couple of months notice I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a lot of speculation but nothing confirmed. You can download your vaccine status onto an app for a couple of months but that’s been a totally voluntary thing and seems to only be used for travel. Sorry but I’ve zero sympathy for anyone who was able to get the vaccine and hasn’t done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris has been saying for at least 2 months that the English will need a vaccine passport to get into nightclubs etc by late September. It might not have been official but they knew it was coming.

The other alternative is to not require vaccine passports though. As someone has already said most folk will show a screenshot of someone else’s anyway. Or are they going to ask us for ID as well?
