Evening folks, looking for a bit guidance on the NHS Scotland app, hoping someone in here might be able to help!
I'm double vaccinated (last shot 5 months ago) and caught covid at the start of December '21. Up until a week or so ago the Scotland side of the app was showing me as all good, at the tail end of last week it showed that I no longer met the criteria, if I go to the international travel side it shows the two jabs and is also showing covid recovery valid until 6th June '22.
I'm looking to visit my mum in France at some point in the next month or two but unsure on validity of the certificate.
Do I need to get a booster jab to be safe?

Thanks in advance, hopefully the covid debates can take place on one of the many other threads!

I believe this is to indicate that you should not be requested to have a PCR test in that 6 month period, a LFT/Antigen test is ok though so nasal trauma is much the same. My mate has the same thing on his app after testing positive a few weeks ago.
If I was you, I'd get the booster too. Spain is bringing in the requirement for the booster before entry to Spain from 1st Feb, but if you've had your 2nd Vaccination in the 270 days previously you are not required to be boosted.
I'm currently in isolation due to a positive test 2 weeks ago and I am getting PCR tests every 3 days, they keep coming back positive and the company I work for seem to be sticking to PCR tests. I might be away a while and have had a fair bit of time to research covid isolation rules and testing rules for where I'm stuck and back home.

Cheers! I think I'll try and get to one of the drop in places on Friday to be on the safe side.
