Question:
To ask the Minister of Health when vaccination travel certification will be made available to people under age 18 who have been fully vaccinated.

Answer:

Vaccine certification for international travel has not previously been required for the under 18 age group and although a small number of countries have started to accept certification as an option for this age group it is not universal.

As a result of this change by certain destination countries it is planned to develop legally compliant solutions, acceptable to younger people, for their use. This will involve consultation with the ICO and Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People in the coming months.
