Many people say they've heard of various difficulties while using the app.
In some cases, people are being told the state has no record of their vaccination and others get a QR code with the wrong information.
The state vaccine task force explained the most likely cause is a data input error; either phone number or address were entered incorrectly or illegibly when getting a vaccine's first dose.
