What is long COVID?

“Long COVID” means your symptoms carry on even after your COVID infection has resolved.

It can also mean you are having new health problems after your COVID infection.

Most COVID infections get better within the first 4 weeks.

Medical professionals say there are two types of long COVID:

• Ongoing symptomatic COVID: When COVID symptoms carry on for 4 to 12 weeks
• Post-COVID Syndrome: When COVID symptoms carry on for over 12 weeks

Covid vaccination passports / Covid 19 status

People in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel. Vaccine status will be available from: 

• the NHS App which you can download from app stores 
• the NHS website 

It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified so you can use these services.

If you cannot access these online services, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119.

This practice is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status.

When you’re planning your travel, check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website. Make sure there is time to get  proof of your vaccination status before you leave.
