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)
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
