B.C. residents can now use federal COVID-19 vaccine card for travel
British Columbia residents can now access the federal government’s proof-of-vaccination record allowing for travel within Canada and internationally.
However, the province says the federal government has indicated it will allow British Columbians to use the BC Vaccine Card to travel within the country until Nov. 30, while national proof of vaccination is implemented. B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix says the federal vaccine card can be accessed through Health Gateway, the ministry’s web service, by phone or at most Service BC offices.
The B.C. government also says provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has extended a mask mandate for everyone aged five and up in indoor public spaces in order to continue slowing the transmission of COVID-19.
