Vaccination and recovery travel certificates for this age group are applied for by parents and guardians.
The young person can then download the app to their phone and simply scan the certificate obtained by their parent or guardian.
This will also assist those travelling with groups of young people – such as teachers on school trips – by providing a digital backup to printed certificates.
The new feature on the app also allows young people to display a COVID Recovery certificate – the official record of a positive PCR test.
