It’s not certain when you could get documents to show you’ve had your COVID-19 vaccine.
While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed Canada is among the countries exploring an international COVID-19 vaccine passport, he’s not eager for them to be used inside the country.
He acknowledges the idea has been done before for international travel to show immunization against tropical diseases.
“But the idea of certificates of vaccination for domestic use, to decide who can go to a concert or who can go to a particular restaurant or engage in certain activities, does bring in questions of equity, questions of fairness,” Trudeau points out.
“There are some people who, because of medical conditions or other reasons, will not be able to get vaccinated. There are others who are not on priority lists who will have to wait much longer before getting vaccinations. These are things we have to take into account,” he says.
