Reminder: BC Vaccine Card is only valid proof of vaccination effective September 27

Dear ABLE BC members and industry colleagues, 

Starting Monday, September 27, 2021, the BC Vaccine Card will be the only acceptable proof of vaccination for British Columbians to enter certain businesses and recreational events.

The transition period, which allowed people to present their paper record of immunization received at the time of their vaccination appointment, will end on September 26.

People can get their BC Vaccine Card online and keep a digital copy on their mobile device by taking a screen shot or saving the digital copy to the device’s photo album or downloads folder. Alternatively, people can print a hard copy to present when entering designated businesses and events.

For images of what the Vaccine Card looks like, click here.

Businesses can download the BC Vaccine Card Verifier App from the Google Play and Apple App stores and use the app to verify customers’ BC Vaccine Card, or visually verify the person’s proof of vaccination. Government-issued photo is required for those 19 and older.

The BC Vaccine Card includes a secure individualized QR code and image showing the holder is either “vaccinated” or “partially vaccinated.” People are now required to have received at least one dose of their COVID-19 vaccine, and both doses by October 24, to enter these settings.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact ABLE BC: info@ablebc.ca.
