SNP and Scottish Green MSPs back a scheme requiring people going to nightclubs and big sports stadia to show their Covid vaccination status
The vaccine passports will come into force in Scotland on 1 October, the same day a similar scheme begins in England
Ahead of a vote, a debate took place at the Scottish Parliament in which opposition MSPs voiced their objections
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said it was unclear how the passports would work
Scottish Labour's Jackie Baillie said there was no evidence the scheme would encourage the unvaccinated to get a jab
And Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton told the debate: "You should never have to provide any aspect of your medical history to a bouncer to get into a nightclub."
The first minister agrees that is not acceptable but stresses the pressure the ambulance service is under right now.
Work is under way to resolve the issue, with 90 additional technicians being added to the service she explains.
Ms Sturgeon pledges to continue to support the ambulance service.
Douglas Ross says the waiting time for an ambulance after a 999 call is six hours.
The Scottish Conservative leader asks if that is not "shocking and unacceptable".
FMQs will get underway after general questions.
Nicola Sturgeon will now face questions from opposition party leaders and backbench MSPs during FMQs.

MSPs are to vote on controversial plans to introduce a vaccine passport scheme in Scotland.
The move will mean that only people who have been fully vaccinated will be allowed into nightclubs, major sporting events and many concerts and festivals.
The Scottish government says the plan is designed to allow large events to go ahead as safely as possible.
Details of the proposals were only published by the government, external on Thursday morning - just hours before the vote.
Good morning and welcome to BBC Scotland's Live Page coverage of FMQs and the vaccine passports debate on 9 September 2021.
