Discussion
- 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
- 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
