Discussion

Ontario

• People can download proof of vaccination online
  • In a few weeks, QR code will be added and “vaccine receipts” will become “vaccine certificates”
  • Civic-tech-built website for making QR codes and adding to Apple Wallet: https://grassroots.vaccine-ontario.ca/
  • Once vaccination certificates are added, launching an app for businesses to use to scan QR codes (mid-October)
    • Will be a privacy statement because users are concerned about business owners keeping their information private

• Proof of vaccination “portal” was done quickly, and might not be the easiest
  • Working on improving the experience, and make it as easy as possible for the public
• Disconnect on the proof of vaccination site not using the Ontario design system (might cause confusion due to branding being different on both sites)
• Counterfeit receipts starting to come up in Ontario
  • QR code that’s being launched is part of the digital identity program and it is not plain text (hashed), so will not be as easy to copy by counterfeiters

Quebec

• Using Vaccine passport on their English page

PEI

• Currently called PEI Vaccine Passport but all promotion will use VaxPass

Nova Scotia

• Proof of vaccination policy comes into effect next week (Oct. 4)
  • Proof of Vaccination

Yukon

• Proof of vaccination is a 'service' that's integrated into main Yukon.ca site:
  • Called a 'credential'
  • Yukon's messaging talks about moving to a federal proof of vaccine process if that's ever developed
