Boosters and third doses will show up automatically in the digital pass from today for people in England, and from 29 November in Wales.
It comes after some countries – including Israel, Croatia, and Austria – introduced a time limit for COVID vaccination status to be valid for quarantine-free travel.
The booster is not being added to the domestic COVID pass at this time.
People traveling to England will also not need to show evidence of a third jab.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for people to show their vaccine status if they are traveling abroad,” said Health Secretary Sajid Javid.
“This update to the NHS COVID Pass will mean people can have their complete medical picture at their fingertips if they are going on holiday or seeing loved ones overseas.”
More than 20 million people have accessed their pass through the NHS app since May.
Boosters and third doses will show up automatically in the digital pass from today for people in England, and from 29 November in Wales.
