Translated: Covid vaccine information for people without an NHS number

Public Health England and the NHS have issued a guidance letter to help those without an NHS number obtain a vaccine and register with a GP.

This is available in Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Estonian, Farsi, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese Brazilian, Punjabi, Romani, Romanian, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Turkish, Twi, Ukrainian, and Urdu.

The letter reminds people that:

  • They do not need to have a GP or an NHS number to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • They will never be forced to have the COVID-19 vaccine and it does not affect their asylum or refugee status.

  • No immigration checks are required to get tested, treated or vaccinated for COVID-19.

  • Anyone in the UK can choose to register with a GP.

  • If they don’t have proof of their address or ID, tell the staff at the GP surgery - it will not prevent them from registering.
