Getting an EU Vaccination Certificate in Portugal

We are living on our catamaran and got our vaccinations in Terceira, Azores. We are now having huge trouble getting an EU Certificate to show that we have had our vaccinations in Portugal. We have the blue Janssen cards (18 days ago), but I don't think they are going to cut it when we travel to Spain, the Carribean, etc.

I'm an Australian so going back to Australia to get vaccinated (again?) isn't an option. We don't have Portuguese residency as we are just passing through.
We've spoken to numerous SNS24 officers and visited the local hospital here in Porto Santo and the Health Numbers they gave us don't seem to work. It appears they may be temporary but we are not entirely sure if this is the problem.

Has anyone else run into this particular problem on Portugal (or in other EU Countries) and if so, is there a solution you can point us to.

Getting an EU Vaccination Certificate in Portugal

We tried this in Greece. The reality is the IT systems underpinning most of this were very hurriedly put together as were the laws underpinning it.

To date most countries are only taking their citizens data , typically via social security number to issue EU vaccine passes. It’s up to each country to decide how to address people in their country that fall outside the usual conditions , in Greece that involved issuing temporary social security numbers but we never then appeared in their vaccine database ( no reason advanced ) we checked with them every two days for 2 months.

Ultimately we went home and had the jabs and got the vaccine pass

You’ll most likely need to contact the country that administers the jabs or failing that convince your passport country to include your details on their vaccine pass database

Currently there’s no agreed way to add non EU residents to individual countries EU digital pass

There are lots of issues where people got one jab in one jurisdiction and one in another or where no national social security number exists etc.

These will no doubt get sorted in time , however the timescales are unknown.
