Download health records on iPhone
The Health app offers secure access to information about your vaccinations, allergies, conditions, medications, and more (not available in all countries or regions).
You can use a QR code or a link from a healthcare provider or authority to download a verifiable COVID-19 vaccination or test result record, and you can set up automatic downloads for a range of health records from supporting healthcare organizations.
Note: When iPhone is locked with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, all of the health data in the Health app—other than what you add to your Medical ID—is encrypted.
