Question:
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the provision of proof or certification for those aged 12 to 15 who have received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine; and when they will be able to use an app to demonstrate their vaccination status.

Answer:

An age appropriate version of the COVIDCert NI is in the early stages of development. Engagements are planned with focus groups, the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People and the ICO to ensure we discharge our obligations and comply with legislation.

Officials advise that the age appropriate version may be available mid to late January.
