Good news.
The NHS App is now showing my third (booster) jab, correctly.
The new Travel QR code has also loaded successfully into the French TAC to update.
So it looks like this will not now be a problem after 15th December, for those of us like me (over 65 who have vaccination programs completed more than 6 months plus 5 weeks previous to their return date) who would otherwise have found our Covid Pass deactivated whilst being in France over mid-late December. 
Anyone else?

Scotland is again left behind.
My parents had their boosters last month but cant prove it yet.
Looks like their planned visit prior to Christmas could hit a problem.

@muppet, Wales has an app update with the booster on the 29th Nov. Does Scotland have its own app; or, like Wales, is it piggy backed on the NHS one? Worth checking.

@Charliegolf, Scotland has a completely different app, our government paid a Danish company a large amount of money for a covid app because it would apparently take 12 months for Scotland to integrate with the other UK covid apps.
Parents are ranting about the situation but my husband is secretly happy that they can’t visit.

Booster yesterday and in the app when I loaded it my phone this morning. I must say that the NHS is doing a fantastic job despite government taking all the credit.

@terrygasson,
Please explain how you've "loaded the travel pass to both the French & Swiss Apps"?
Actually which French & Swiss Apps are you refering to? I thought I only needed to hand in my Swiss Passenger Locator Form (paper copy) in at Geneva Airport and then give the French the paper copy of Health Declaration (self certification of not having Covid).

@welshflyer, The Tous Anti Covid app (TAC)- the French 'covid passport'. The app is on apple or play store. Download, and scan and upload the QR codes from the NHS covid app, and it should accept it. Now you can be scanned by the 'providers'' version of TAC at lifts, cafes, shops etc. I guess it means the NHS one is redundant when in country?

@Charliegolf,
Thank you, I'm not very good at working my smart phone. I'll have to work out how to scan and upload the QR code from the NHS App to the TAC.
Still not sure if there's also a Swiss App equivalent of the TAC?

Personally I'm going to download a paper copy of my cert the day before I take the booster, then a second copy once the booster is shown on the app.
The reason is that there's some small print in one country with snow which says your vaccination needs to have been completed at least 14 days before travel. The intent is clear, but I'd not want to arrive there and have a bureaucrat look at the date of my booster (less than 14 days...) and confuse that with the date of my double-vaccination (more than 14 days...). I don't need the booster to be legal, but I'd like to have it and not have bureaucratic problems.

You know it makes sense.

@Charliegolf, is Wales getting an app? Or is it just the online login website one we have now…? As that isn’t showing boosters yet.

@rjj501, Wales piggy backs off the English NHS app
https://covid-status.service.nhsx.nhs.uk
You can find your way through it here. The booster will appear on 'Welsh' version of passes on 29th Nov. Allegedly.

I have just loaded my boosted status onto the Tous Anti Covid app as @Charliegolf, says by simply scanning the English QR code. It was suprisingly easy. However, I don't trust mobile phones so will still carry the paper qr code with me.

@welshflyer, sorry havent answered earlier, as @Charliegolf, said for the french tous app.
i took a screenshot of my booster qr code in the travel pass section of NHS app, then scanned the code on to the french app.
there is a swiss equivalent, search for "swiss covid certificate" on the apple store, and it should be first one found, i downloaded it some time ago and just updated with my recent booster code.
the french app is all singing and dancing with balloons exploding on the screen when your code is validated
like others, i have added the passes to my apple wallet, so no data required, and will also print them out nearer the date of travel, so i have a hard copy to hand just in case

Thanks @Charliegolf…! Hopefully on the 29th boosters will show up there. And I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I get mine in the appropriate timescale for planned trips! Haha

Partial good news. It's good that the over 65s, NHS staff (who were early jabbed) and other early vaxxed categories, can now prove their 3rd dose.
But under 16s are still 100% entirely locked out of the Covid Pass on the app and can't prove their recovery or their jabs, with not even a mention from the Gov as to when they might get of their backsides and allow access. All the data is there.
Another shower of excrement with an incompetent half complete solution.

@welshflyer, I haven't been following the conversation, but if you need it (largely to get into bars/restaurants in Switzerland) then the Swiss app is called "Covid Certificate".

@welshflyer, you don’t need the Swiss app as the NHS England App QR , if you have that, is acceptable in Switzerland if you downloaded it after 1 November. You can load it into the Swiss app to check it will be accepted but you don’t need to, they can read it directly now.

Not clear what you mean by 'again left behind', but it's expected that booster jag status will have been added to the NHS Scotland app at the start of December so that really shouldn't affect Xmas travel plans. Considering the explosion of COVID cases, and the proliferation of lockdowns in Europe, I'd have thought whether borders will be open at all should be a far bigger concern for your parents.

Anyone tried to use the online Covid Pass for international travel? It says it needs up to 7 days to confirm your identity but when I click the button all I get is a grey screen and no idea if it's started the process or not.

Have you just signed up for the app? If so then it was pretty quick to confirm from what I remember a couple of days.

@altis, If I recall correctly, it needs to confirm some info with your GP records so might need someone to press a few buttons when the surgery is open. Think mine took 2 working days.

My COVID booster on the app seems to have "displaced" one of my original jabs so now I only have one of the original ones showing and the booster I had on Friday on the international pass. It also won't let me download a domestic COVID pass, I assume as it doesn't think I am two weeks from my "second" jab. On my GP records, all three are showing in the immunisations section. Is this normal or do I need to get in touch with the helpine to get all three to show on the domestic/international pass?

@pieman666, no, I don't think they do a Symbian version 
I was trying to use the online version. All I want to do is print off a QR code that lasts more than 3 days.

The French anticovid app shows my booster vaccination as the vaccination date of the last injection and 6 months later will take me to mid april - almsot the end of the ski season.

I'm going to Tignes in April 22, when I will have had my 2nd jab over six months ago.
Would I be right in thinking by this time my pass will have expired potentially unless I get my booster before then?
Hopefully the booster gets rolled out quickly and I can get mine before I go (I'm 29)... but if not and they require your last dose to be within 6 months what would my options be?
Thanks

@DanB234, At the moment the French are only requiring boosters for over 65s. In 5 months time everything could have changed and probably will have, but there is no point in worrying about it now. Just stay safe and look after yourself

@johnE, Oh are they... so I guess as long as we stay ahead of France with the roll out, in theory I should be ok fingers crossed. Thank you

Why yes, it does - I was so pleased to see that the booster was showing on the app that I hadn’t noticed that.

Mr Mogulski and I fall into the Scottish App problem. We are booked for Les Arcs early January and Crystal have just sent the advice that we need record of our boosters to enter France as we are over 65. We have both had them but the wonderful Scottish App only records the first 2 doses. We had problems over the difference between English and Scottish regs for travel earlier in the year and our MP got it sorted. Have now spent the morning passing the problem to our MSP (part of SNP government who created the mess), our MP (very helpful Labour), feedback on the NHS Inform scottish site and to Crystal asking how we resolve it.
Crystal allows free changes up to 28 days before travel but until the app is resolved we cannot enter France or Austria and there are no cheap holidays to Switzerland or Italy when we hoped to travel. We had a cheap 4 nights in Les Arcs for £369 each half board, flights and transfer and MrM gets a free ski pass so it was going to be a nice few days for the start of the season.

Now had a reply from our MSP and they are 'working at putting boosters on the Scottish NHS Inform App'. His email says by December 2021 but I wonder when? Spent almost an hour on Chat with Crystal trying to resolve what happens if we don't get boosters put on our Covis Pass in time. They don't seem to realise that Scotland has a different App from the rest of the UK.
We can supposedly change to another holiday before Monday 6th December but there are no countries we can enter without the booster showing on our App. France need it if you are over 65(we are), Austria for all travellers, Swiss won't let anyone in without quarantine and all Crystal flights to Italy from the north go to Austria. Also we booked a cheepie 4 day trip and don't fancy paying around £3k for the 2 of us for an alternative. Crystal refuse to extend the period when we can make free changes.
Lets hope the Scottish Covid App gets updated in the next few days. They can't implement a proper Covid App and Nicola wants us to vote for independance!
