KikiKruiser Posted October 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I know protocols have been updated as of September 28 for sailing out of Southampton; were you asked at embarkation to show your physical vaccination card? If so, was a photo of the card sufficient? Can't find anything mentioning it on the Princess website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is your ‘home’ record of vaccination then YES they do check and a real form of evidence is required such as paper or accepted QR code etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get all shots in one state, you can often get a state based QR code but if you mix shots in different states, you need to keep several records and some states do not have QR codes but only pdfs of vaccination records. In any case, Princess only wanted to see our cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then downloaded the NHS documents complete with QR codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted October 5, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) In Australia you have to produce a vaccination certificate from Medicare (Federal Government Health) certifying you are fully vaccinated, otherwise no embarkation.

So yes, just wanted to know if Princess wanted to see the physical cards or if a photo of it was acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wondering if showing a photo of the card on our phone is acceptable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can upload a picture of the card on the app but for us it always said "pending approval". They never looked at the app at checkin for anything. Only wanted the documents. A bit of vaccination humor. We got our bivalent booster the other day but forgot to take our cards with us to the pharmacy. They said we could come back with the cards later or just fill them out ourselves. We have the official state records but it casts some doubt on the effectiveness of having the cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
