Ontarians can start downloading their enhanced vaccine certificates

Ontarians can download their enhanced vaccine certificates beginning today.

The new vaccine certificates will feature a QR code that restaurants and other businesses that require proof of vaccination will scan.

The downloads will work by birth month. Those born between January and April can download on Friday, anyone born between May and August can download their new certificates on October 16, and those born from September to December can download their certificates on October 17.
