A change to Alberta's Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) will soon come into effect.

Starting tomorrow (Nov. 15), only the newest Alberta proof of vaccination that includes a QR code will be accepted to enter facilities operating under the REP. 

The change was first announced in mid-October by Health Minister Jason Copping.

Other forms of Alberta proof of vaccination, including older paper versions and vaccine documentation from pharmacies, will not be allowed.

Exceptions include Canadian Armed Forces vaccine records, a negative privately paid COVID-19 test, valid proof of medical exemption, and vaccination records from other provinces.

You can get the up-to-date proof of vaccination with the QR code on the Government of Alberta website, or at local registry offices for a paper copy.
