Alberta is making it a little easier for those who intend on travelling in the future with an updated QR code that will provide a few more details than the current code.
The vaccine record will now meet the standard for domestic and international travel by including middle names and will be available in both English and French.
A sample of the new QR code the Alberta government released on Wednesday for those looking to travel in the near future.
“We’re making it easier for Albertans to travel at home and abroad with an internationally recognized proof of vaccination,” said Health Minister Jason Copping in a release.
“Millions of vaccinated Albertans already have a secure QR vaccine record and they can still use it to safely enjoy activities within our province. An updated QR code will allow those who want to travel to quickly and easily provide proof of vaccination.”
The code also looks more official than the current one with both a Canada logo and Alberta logo easily visible on the card.
Albertans who don’t intend on travelling will not need to get the updated QR code as the province’s QR code scanning app will still recognize both records.
