Albertans will be able to get proof of vaccination against COVID-19 on a card-sized printout through MyHealth Records beginning Sept. 16.
Albertans will be able to print a copy of this card or show it on their phone or tablet.
鈥淲e continue to make it easier for Albertans to securely access their health information, including immunization records, in the palm of their hand any time and anywhere through MyHealth Records,鈥� said Health Minister Tyler Shandro in a Sept. 14 news release.
鈥淢ore Albertans are signing up for this tool every day to access their health information, and if you haven鈥檛 done so already, I encourage you to sign up now.鈥�
To access MyHealth Records, Alberans must first have a MyAlberta Digital ID, which can be created at using an Alberta driver鈥檚 licence or identification card.
Albertans are advised to plan ahead and save their card on their phone or print it out before the needed date.
MyHealth Records may experience high traffic volume before major events and long weekends.
The government is also working to make proof of vaccination available through a QR code, which is expected to be available in the coming weeks.
