How to add your Vaccination Certificate to your Check-In App

Just in case you missed the information about this in a recent Video of the Day email and in the press, there is now the option to add your Covid Vaccination Certificate to your Service Victoria or Service NSW app.

The right-most screen in the image above shows an example of how your vaccination status is displayed after you have checked in.

Where to save your COVID vaccination certificate for easy access

In a Zoom with friends recently, discussion turned to COVID Vaccinations and what to do with the certificate that you receive once you are fully vaccinated.

The COVID-19 digital certificate is available from the Medicare Express Plus app here in Australia. If you haven't already done so, this app is well worth downloading to any mobile device. Not only does it show your COVID certificate (and other vaccinations), but it also allows you to submit Medicare claims.

Alternatively, you can access the certificate via your web browser - by signing in to your myGov account and then accessing your Medicare service from there.

(We won't go into how to set up myGov and link Medicare in this article - but let us know in the comments if this is something you would like to see covered in a future article.)

So once you find your COVID certificate, what can you do with it, and how can you have it readily available when you need it. There are a few options.

My Android phone won't scan QR codes using Camera, so how do I check in

A client who visited iTandCoffee this week was having trouble checking in using her new Samsung phone. She had tried using the phone's Camera app, but it was not recognising the QR code. She was having this trouble wherever she went.

What other option does she have to easily scan QR codes using her Samsung (Android) phone?

How your mobile phone can help you check if you were at a COVID exposure location

At a time when we are seeing so many 'potential COVID exposure' locations in Melbourne and Sydney, it can be difficult to remember precise dates and times of when you may have been at one of these locations, and whether you may therefore need to be tested and isolate.

For many shopping centres, shops and supermarkets you may not have checked in using a QR code, so will not appear on any register that contact tracers use from that site. So then it up to you to recap where you have been and when.

The amount of shops, restaurants and cafes many of us have visited over the Christmas and New Year period makes remembering our movements even more difficult. I know that at this time of year, I can even forget what day of week it is, so tracing my movements is very tricky!

One of the new exposure locations on Victoria's DHHS list today stood out as a place that I did visit in the time between Christmas and New Year. But I was struggling to remember what date I went there, and what time it would have been.

So I referred to my iPhone, which showed me the precise details of where I had been and when.

Here's where you can find this information on your own iPhone (or iPad). And read on later for where you might find details of your movements if you are on an Android device.

Even I'm confused about the COVIDSafe app! But I have still installed it.

Since it was released, I have had several people ask me about the COVIDSafe app - about whether to download it, and about the varying news reports of how it works and what WE have to do on our devices to make it work.

If you are confused, you are not alone. I am finding the reports confusing too.
