It looks like we will be starting charters again next friday...........So I go through the covid rules to see what is required of us to be compliant.
Amongst other things, we have to download the 'scan app' and use it to scan the punters vaccine pass's according to the covid orders.........and this was confirmed by a ph call to those at the covid help line.
It is not voluntary re the scanning, it is mandatory........so I set up a system that we can follow to comply.............then on tuesday I see this article in Stuff where the Prime Minister says we dont have to scan the vaccine passes......Ermm

Typical of the current mob in power, they aren't on the same page or even reading from the same book!!!!!

Am I missing something?  People are going on about installing apps and all sorts of stuff.  All I did to get my pass was go to a web site, sign in and clicked on a button.  A moment later my pass landed in my inbox as a pdf, so I could print it out or store it on my phone.  I don't really know how it could have been any easier.

The app I installed on my mobile is the one that has to be used by businesses ( in this case the Charter business) so they can comply with the rules under the new Red Light System. Normal people do what you did, businesses have to do a lot extra.........Wink

I don't own a business but I installed the vaccine pass scanning app on my phone so I could see what was shared etc.  It was easy to install and easy to use. (It shows your name, DOBand a big green tick if it's a valid pass).

I can see the sighting/scanning of passes would be difficult for some businesses e.g. a swim school where all staff are in the water and parents / care givers are coming and going to pick up kids etc.

Further to my touge in cheek post further back..
 Removed the pin for my phone.. app doesnt work..

As with PM above, gone thru the permissions of the pass app.
Body sensors ...why? can be turned off.
Files and Media.. needs to right details when you use the app... can be turned off
Location....if requirement using Q codes , why?
Microphone....Why?  can turn off
Phone....cant be turned off.
Physical Activity.....cant be turned off.
SMS ...why? can be turned off.

I havnt turned these off to see it still works as still havnt put the pin back on my phone yet.

pretty sure, everyone would scan in to any facility they intend to use, pick up etc...

the my covid record site to get your cert. I knew would crash, just another way to get more funds from govt... So the next one ran smooth & it did too, got my cert in seconds, even though went to spam...

ring 0800 number if don't like techy things, help each other out..

Aucks would never have come out of lockdown without something to change things...

prob have to get "booster" shots yearly from now on??? like a flu jab

up here they were giving out vouchers to get a jab!!! I like free stuff  lol...

take care & watch out for friends & neighbours....

So it turns out your vaccine pass Cert - your passport to freedom, is an editable pdf.
2 M already in circ.
No need for the non- vaxxed to worry.
You can't make this stuff up.

I downloaded the vaccine pass last night which came through without too many problems. Now this morning I can't find any trace of it on my phone whatsoever. Completely disappeared.

Im Samsung android.. loaded app (needed a pin on the phone) took screen shot... set a short cut on the desktop to the screen shot.
 App is still there beside it... only works if have a security pin.. havnt check other security options like face or finger print etc. are the same.

My phone is rather modded thu.
 I use Nova launcher , scrapped the factory launchers on samsung and hauwai yrs ago.
And have heavy limitations on app permissions and what can and cant use mobile and wireless data.

All below is from the Google Support site (ie not specific to what the developers have done here in NZ but how they should have done it!):

Important: Your device needs to run Android 5 or above and be Play Protect certified.

If you have the Google Pay app

  1. Open the Google Pay app Google Pay.
  2. Touch the bottom of the screen and swipe up.
  3. Find your COVID card and tap it.
Tip: To find your COVID card easier next time, you can add a shortcut icon to your device’s home screen. To add an icon, follow the instructions above to find your COVID card. Tap More More and then Save to home.
Your COVID card will display the basic information about you, your healthcare provider, and your COVID vaccination or test. To find any additional info provided, at the bottom, tap Details.

If you don’t have the Google Pay app

  1. On your device, go to Settings Settings.
  2. Tap Google and then Settings for Google apps.
  3. Tap Google Pay.
  4. Touch the bottom of the screen and swipe up.
  5. Find your COVID Card and tap it.

Tip: To find your COVID card easier next time, you can add a shortcut icon to your device’s home screen. To add an icon, follow the instructions above to find your COVID card. Tap More More and then Save to home.

Your COVID card will display the basic information about you, your healthcare provider, and your COVID vaccination or test. To find any additional info provided, at the bottom, tap Details.
