The province needs to develop a basic, opt-in COVID-19 vaccine passport as proof of vaccination is increasingly required for foreign travel and other activities, Toronto Mayor John Tory said Wednesday.
Asked if the City of Toronto would develop its own portable proof of COVID-19 vaccination, the mayor told CP24 the province of Ontario is best suited to develop one as it manages all data related to vaccines administered.
Yesterday, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kieran Moore said a vaccine passport was not necessary “at this time,” nor is it being contemplated by the Ford government.As of now, COVID-19 vaccine recipients receive a PDF-format single page document from the COVAX system via email for each shot they receive, detailing the time, date, brand of vaccine they received and even which arm it went into.
The Toronto Region Board of Trade also called for a new vaccine verification system, saying it was necessary to restart activities that involve large indoor gatherings such as conferences.
