How do I download my Ontario vaccine certificate QR code

How to get your vaccine certificate QR code Here's what Ontarians can expect as the province launch its COVID-19 vaccine verification app and QR code system.

TORONTO — The Ontario government has launched its COVID-19 vaccine verification app and QR code system.

While the app is now available for download, some residents will not be able to download the Verify Ontario QR codes until later this weekend.

Since Sept. 22, residents in the province have needed proof of vaccination in order to visit some non-essential businesses and services in Ontario.

For nearly a month now, residents have been using a COVID-19 receipt and government identification to prove their vaccination status, but soon they will be able to use the enhanced QR code instead that businesses can scan with the new app.

Currently, people need to be fully vaccinated to enter gyms, indoor restaurants, movie theatres, indoor meeting and event spaces, sports venues and concert halls.
