Here’s what Quebec can learn from other regions with vaccination passport systems – CBC

Looking at system to shut out those not fully vaccinated from bars, gyms, festivals

Jul 12, 2021

Quebec could soon have a vaccine passport system in place that would keep people who aren’t fully vaccinated away from bars, gyms and festivals, yet there are plenty of questions about how it would be implemented and enforced — and whether it’s even necessary.

Health Minister Christian Dubé announced on Thursday that vaccine passports would only be used if the province were to be hit by a fourth wave of COVID-19 cases.

The system is meant as an alternative to generalized lockdown restrictions. Rather than shutting down parts of the economy, vaccine passports would instead limit where people who are not fully vaccinated can go.

Beyond that, details are scarce, and ethical concerns are being raised. Looking at other jurisdictions that use similar systems could give Quebecers an idea of what to expect and how useful passports can be.
