Vaccine status problems

I’m hoping someone can help. I had both vaccinations in England, then moved to Scotland and had my booster there.
I did have a Covid pass on my phone, but they expire after 3 months, and as I am no longer registered with a GP in England, I cannot renew it. My booster shows on the Scottish app, but as the two previous vaccines do not register in Scotland, it shows as the first of two, not as a booster.
I have phoned both English and Scottish helplines about this, but both say they can’t do anything, and it’s the other one I need to ask.
Has anyone found a way to get their English vaccinations on their Scottish health record?

I'm in exactly the same position and am having exactly the same problem. The NHS Inform helpline basically said there's nothing they can do, they know it's shit but the systems won't talk to each other in the right way. Ditto NHS England.

I've now written to my MSP, my Westminster MP, and also to Sarah Boyack MSP who has raised this in the Scottish Parliament and is asking anyone affected to get in touch. (I'm not in her constituency, but I thought it was worth a shot.)

Haven't heard back yet but hoping for some movement.

Sorry - actually not quite the same position. I had my first jab in England, and second one plus booster in Scotland. So I never had an NHS Covid Pass from England. But otherwise same situation.

Thanks - I have now managed to download two Covid passes - one from each - but I might also write to Sarah Boysack. It’s a ridiculous situation!!
