How Quebec’s vaccine passport will work, and where it will apply – By CBC Newsroom (CBC News) / Aug 24 2021
Proof of full vaccination will be required to play team sports, go to a bar or visit a zoo
The Quebec government is putting into place a vaccine passport system starting Sept. 1 that will effectively bar people who aren’t fully vaccinated from many non-essential activities.
The passport — an electronic record of vaccination in the form of a quick response (QR) code — has already been tested out at various establishments across the province, including a restaurant, bar and gym.
Here’s a primer on what you need to know about the system, which is the first of its kind in Canada.
How does it work?
The vaccine passport system applies to anyone aged 13 and over. It will be implemented through an app, called VaxiCode, which will be available for download starting Aug. 25 on Apple devices, and soon after on Android. The app will display your scannable QR code once you have uploaded it. The code contains your name, date of birth and vaccination status and is sent by email by the province, or can be downloaded from this government web page. It is possible to include the QR codes of family members in the same app, and a printed-out version of the QR code is also valid.
