Scots will need a booster jag before being considered fully vaccinated, Nicola Sturgeon has just announced.
Speaking in Holyrood, the First Minister outlined a move away from some of the restrictions we've seen throughout the pandemic.
Addressing MSPs, she said: “from Monday, the requirement to be ‘fully vaccinated’ for the purposes of covid certification, will include a requirement that you have had a booster if your second dose was more than four months ago.
“The NHS Scotland covid status app for domestic use will be updated from Thursday so that its QR code includes evidence of booster vaccination.
It will also be possible to order updated paper and PDF copies of vaccination status, which are now valid for three months.

"And it will still be possible to gain admission to events and venues covered by the certification scheme by providing proof of a recent negative lateral flow test."
Ms Sturgeon also said that it extending the scope of covid certification to other venues is being 'considered' as a 'necessary protection'.
She added: "To be clear, we have not yet taken any decisions on this and it will require careful judgement. But I want to be clear to Parliament today that it is something we feel bound to give appropriate consideration to."
