Albertans will be able to print a proof of vaccination card on Thursday, the government has announced.

The printout will be available through MyHealth Records.

The province also says work is underway on a QR code to show proof of vaccination. It is expected to be available “in the coming weeks.”

A QR code will be an easier, faster and more secure way to share the immunization record when needed, the province says.
