Ok , so the return test can be done in Brighton £42.
Are you able to do your own Lateral flow test before departure, or do you need to pay for a PCR test before leaving as well?
( I have been double jabbed, and want to visit family in France for a couple of days).

Download the French government's TousAntiCovid app and scan your second vaccination QR code from the NHS app.

2nd day PCR test on return easily arranged here for £42 https://www.theregenerativeclinic.co.uk/covid-19/

We used the Brighton clinic and were pleased with the service.

Yes but, no but

Certainly up until last night, yes you can scan your NHS QR code into the French app and it will accept it. When you come to present it to a QR reader in France it is not recognised. We use a print out of our NHS QR which they say they may accept.
I believe moves are afoot to quickly remedy this.

Ask me how I know.

I just tried scanning my QR code and it tells me it is the wrong format. As you say, they must be working on it.

Download the French government's TousAntiCovid app and scan your second vaccination QR code from the NHS app.

I hear from other sources that although the QR code appears to scan OK, it doesn’t actually fully accept it and you get a message to ‘contact your NHS as the data doesn’t conform to standards’ or some such.

In the interests of research I have just been to the bar and the French QR reader now accepts the French App with the NHS QR code in the wallet..
So as of this morning it would appear that the NHS code is now compatible.

NHS vax certificate was accepted by PAF on my flight France to UK this weekend, they did not bother to try to scan it but they scanned my wife EU vax pass, they asked to file this form,

On the way back, we had everything prepared again but no one was around to check any CV19 papers or vaccination certificates, I think it’s summer holidays…

You can also download the same app that venues use to scan/verify your vaccine 2d Barcode - it is called "TAC Verif"

[patowalker]

What fun. TousAntiCovid accepts my QR code and TAC Verif tells me it is valid.

I'd be off to France, but my aircraft has been grounded by Covid. Permit fell due while I was away and my inspector is in isolation.

[skydriller]

Is TousAntiCovid not exactly the same as the NHS app which has recieved so much negative publicity recently? ie is bluetooth oriented and tells you to self isolate if it thinks you have been anywhere near someone with Covid?

I believe that if you are double vaccinated (with an approved vaccine and batch),

How do you know if you have an approved batch

The disputed batches are: 4120Z001, 4120Z002 and 4120Z003.

[Colonel Panic]

My AZ batch numbers are both in the format PV12345 - presumably that means they are not affected?

[G-BLEW]

My AZ batch numbers are both in the format PV12345 - presumably that means they are not affected?

This suggests the vaccines are no longer disputed.
