Nicola Sturgeon has announced that Scots will need a Covid booster to use the vaccine passport scheme to go to events with large numbers attending.
In the much anticipated announcement Ms Sturgeon updated the nation on plans to move forward and "live with Covid" which included an update on the vaccine passport scheme.
The public will now need their booster to use the vaccination passport scheme if it has been over three months since their second dose. Alternatively you can still use a negative lateral flow test if you are not vaccinated.

The vaccine passport is required for entry to late night premises with music, alcohol and dancing between midnight and 5am.
Also to attend indoor events unseated with 500 or more attendees, outdoor events unseated with 4,000 people or more and all events with 10,000 plus attending.
The First Minister today said in parliament: "Firstly, our guidance will now stipulate that the organisers of large events of 1000 or more people should check the certification status of at least 50% of attendees, rather than the current 20%, or at least 1,000 people - whichever figure is higher.
"And, second, from Monday the requirement to be ‘fully vaccinated’ for the purposes of Covid certification will include having a booster if the 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.
Continuing: "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."
