Vaccine passports to enter the ground?

[Jesus2020]

Is this going to be a thing? Or do we have to show a negative test result from the same day?

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Hopefully both.

 

[Alfie Budd]

Take a look at the last few pages of the Season Tickets thread. This issue has been discussed there.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Either way I don't see it as big a problem as is being reported. Maybe with having to do tests but surely the majority would just show the card with proof of both vaccs

Hopefully both.

Evidence of vaccination, eg on the NHS app on your phone, would be enough for me. A lot more efficient than negative test evidence before every game too I think

If you’re talking about the card you were given when you received your jabs then that definitely isn’t acceptable as proof of vaccination. It’s hand written and too open to being fake or inaccurate - you were given it purely for information purposes.
Only acceptable proof of vaccination is the QR code on the NHS app or a printed certificate that can be requested from the NHS. I haven’t seen what the certificate looks like but I’m guessing it shows a QR code too.

Surely the tests would be more effective as that shows no one has it? Whereas the vaccinations don't actually stop it being spread?

That's where I'm a bit confused to the reasoning behind it?

The test are not 100% if it’s the ones you get to test at home.. pity the tests take so long to get a result

Well these are oft made points, but … though they don’t “stop” they do “significantly reduce” the spread and the chances of catching, so in the much discussed trade-off between physical safety from covid vs mental/emotion/economic health and well being of the population, I’d side with the vaccine passport, as it just makes entry to large events so much more practical and manageable to process.

Why both? No one will pay to be tested before every game.

Ah I see.

Be prepared to have to give yourselves at least an hour to enter the stadium if the Everton game is anything to go by. Only 10k in attendance but ridiculous queues at checkpoints whilst the stewards checked that you had the confirmation email from the club that you had submitted the Covid questionnaire.

A 50k plus crowd all having a QR code scanned and then entering via mobile ticketing says to me that thousands will be stuck outside long after KO.

Your vac passport will be linked to your ST on your phone you won’t have to show it every time

 

[MaineDAWG2008]

can I use a mates passport to get in? Just curious...

Maybe. But then whose passport will your mate use to get in? I’m assuming your NHS app details will only be allowed on your (one) device, but that’s a guess. Lots of unknowns aren’t there?

No system will be 100% secure, I guess, but still worth having in place than not, imho.

Is that confirmed?

Hope not they forcing people into a corner who haven’t had the jab.

Let’s hope it’s neither.

good, so they should be. If not healthy enough to get the jab, i'm not sure a mass gathering during a pandemic is the place to be
