Vaccine Trials

Looks like NHS in England can already supply status if you have been on a vaccine trial like I was for Novavax.

Scotland, not even mentioned.

And of course they want to send you your certification by letter with 1st class post within 14 days.

Fine for people who don't have printers I supposed.

But big disclaimers about asking for it well in advance of foreign travel.

14 days? Are they validating this all manually then hand typing the letter, sticking it in an envelope and then hunting for a stamp? Or do they have 1 guy going in once a week to pick up all the envelopes that the automated printing system has stuffed and put them in the post.

Here's a thought Scottish Govt. Talk nicely to the DVLA who have all the front-end stuff to do validation on your driving license etc. down pat, generate a PDF AND let other people check it is valid and maybe they'll give you a hand.
