The confirmation comes following a 'misunderstanding' regarding the rollout of the certificates
However, in a notice to GPs, the IMO stated:"We wish to advise that GPs have NO role in the issuing of documentation to patients in respect of the Digital Covid Certificate.Minister of State Ossian Smyth also later clarified there had been a “misunderstanding” and GPs will not play a part in issuing certificates.
The IMO notice highlighted information from government stating that a helpline is being established in regards to recovery certificates. It said:"A certificate of recovery will be available from 11 days after a positive test, and will be valid for no more than 180 days. You will be able to request this DCC via a helpline. Helpline details will be published shortly."
A spokesperson from the IMO told JOE that vaccination certificates for those vaccinated in GP centres are being handled by the HSE.If the HSE has a valid email address for you from the vaccination process, you will get your DCC by email. Otherwise, you will receive the certificate via post. These DCCs will be emailed or posted in the coming days.
