Quebec will implement a vaccine passport regime in the coming weeks, Premier François Legault announced today.
Details of the regime will be released soon, Legault said. But he said the rising case numbers in Quebec, and the prospect of more hospitalizations and deaths in the coming weeks, has made the vaccine passport regime necessary.
The regime will allow the province to avoid the widespread closures that have marked its pandemic response to date, he said.
“People who made the effort to get their two doses should be able to live a somewhat normal life,” Legault said.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
