The Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre (KMHC) and the Kahnawà:ke COVID-19 Task Force (Task Force) would like to provide some information regarding Quebec’s Quick Response Code, or QR Code as it’s commonly known.
The QR Codes are being sent by email or text message by the Minister of Health and Social Services (MSSS) to those who received their COVID-19 vaccination. The QR Code is a digital document embedded with your vaccine information. This document can be stored electronically on your smartphone, email or can be printed and carried in a wallet.
The following Quebec.ca website provides information about the QR code:
The vaccine QR Code is an initiative of the Quebec Government and not the Task Force or KMHC. The Quebec government has not yet decided in what way the QR code will be used in the future. The paper validation of your vaccine is still recognized and valid as proof of vaccination. Some people may not have received their QR Code for various reasons. Very shortly, the Quebec.ca website will allow individuals to access it to generate their personal QR Code if required. The site is not ready at this time.
