Vaccine passport in works for Canadian travellers

Canada is moving ahead with a vaccine passport for people who want to travel outside the country. The federal government announced today that it hopes to have a vaccine passport available by the fall to give Canadians a trusted and verifiable credential they can show to border officials in foreign countries.

“We will continue our work with provinces, territories and Indigenous partners to provide Canadians with a secure and reliable proof of vaccination, which could be required for international travel. I encourage all Canadians to get vaccinated as soon as they are able to,” Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu said in a news release.
