Ontario’s new proof of vaccination requirements takes effect next week.

Due to fraud, the Ontario government has announced on Tuesday, January 4th, the enhanced vaccine certificate with a QR code, a piece of identification and the Verify Ontario app must be used where proof of vaccination is required.

Up until now, businesses have accepted the QR code and the original vaccine passport that shows the date someone was vaccinated.

The certificate with the QR code can be downloaded online and you will need your health card to access it.

While it can be added to your smartphone to easily access, it can also be printed, and businesses must accept a digital or paper copy.

And as of January 10th, physician notes will no longer be accepted under the proof-of-vaccination system.
