Scottish ministers declined an offer to join the Covid vaccine passport app used in England and Wales before opting to set up their own alternative, which has been hit by glitches.
The NHS Scotland Covid Status app has been beset by technical issues since its release on Thursday evening, just hours before the passport scheme was set to go live at 5am on Friday.
