More than 800,000 people waiting for updated Covid certs after receiving booster 

Automatic issuing of the updated certs began on what the health department describes as 'a phased basis' on January 6 via email.

More than 800,000 people who have received a booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine are waiting for their updated EU Digital Covid Certificate (DCC).

While more than 2.5m people have received their booster dose, the Department of Health has said that over 1.7m updated DCCs have been issued to those who have received the booster so far.
