The UK's first "vaccine passport" has been launched by an independent healthcare management app.
The vaccine certification technology for iOS users displays whether a patient is sufficiently protected from Covid-19 12 days following the second vaccine dose.
A version for Android users is expected to launch over the coming weeks.
It comes after prime minister Boris Johnson announced a new "anti-viral taskforce" at the latest press conference.
The new team has been tasked with "supercharging" the UK's search for anti-viral medications which could be used to treat Covid-19 at home.
