Overseas vaccinations
Book an appointment to register your overseas vaccinations
To register your overseas vaccinations, you’ll need to book an appointment at a selected list of vaccination centres across England.
Book an appointment to register your overseas vaccination with the NHS.
Staff are not able to register your overseas vaccinations unless you book in advance.
Details of your overseas vaccination will then be recorded in the National Immunisation Management System.
If you’re registered with a GP in England and were vaccinated in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man, you do not need to book an appointment at a vaccination centre.
If you need help using this service, contact the NHS COVID Pass service by telephoning:
• 119 from the UK
• +44 151 905 0119 from overseas (you’ll be charged according to your carrier’s rates)
Getting your NHS COVID Pass
Eligible overseas vaccinations will display within your NHS COVID Pass in the same way as vaccines administered under the UK vaccination programme. However, you may see some fields left blank for overseas vaccines.
Non-eligible overseas vaccinations will not generate an NHS COVID Pass.
Your NHS COVID Pass for international travel will show the vaccinations you have received. It may take up to 10 working days for vaccines to show in your NHS COVID Pass.

How to use the NHS COVID Pass to demonstrate your coronavirus (COVID-19) status when travelling abroad and domestically at venues and settings in England.
