Everyone who gets a COVID-19 in Ontario receives a receipt, which you can use to verify your vaccination status.

NEWS RELEASE

REGION OF WATERLOO

***********************

Starting today, the Province requires proof of vaccination to access certain businesses and settings. Residents of Waterloo Region will need to have their vaccine receipts on hand as well as proof of identification to attend indoor restaurants, gyms, sporting events, movie theatres and other higher-risk indoor public settings.

Anyone who does not have a copy of their vaccine receipts, and who wants to have access to these public settings, should take the appropriate steps to get copies.

  • Individuals who have a green photo health card can log into Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccination portal to download or print their receipts.
  • Individuals who have a red and white health card can call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3090 to arrange to receive their vaccine receipts by mail.
  • Individuals who do not have a health card can call the Region’s Service First Call Centre at 519-514-1499.
  • If you do not have access to a printer and want printed copies of your vaccine receipts, you can go to either The Boardwalk or Cambridge Pinebush vaccination clinics, or visit your local library for assistance.

If you received your vaccine doses outside of Ontario, the Region of Waterloo is unable to provide vaccine receipts. You can use vaccine receipts from another jurisdiction as proof of vaccination until further updates are available from the provincial government.

Residents who are not fully vaccinated will need two doses (plus 14 days) to be eligible for the enhanced vaccine certificate with a unique QR code that the Province has announced will be available in about a month’s time.
