The GNWT says it’s working with the Government of Canada to ensure the NWT will be able to issue standardized verifiable proof of having received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Proof of vaccination will not be linked to the person’s passport, but will instead stand as a separate document.
“[It] will only verify that the traveller has been vaccinated against COVID-19,” said a spokesperson from the department of Health. “It will be a companion health document that a traveller can carry along with their passport, when travelling internationally and returning home to Canada.”
There is still no international consensus on acceptable proof of vaccination.
