Stick it to COVID: Updated SK Vax Wallet App Supports International Travel

Released on December 7, 2021

Containing both the Government of Saskatchewan and Government of Canada visual identity wordmarks, your MySaskHealthRecord digital QR code proof of vaccination certificate supports proof of vaccination at border entry during international travel. 

The COVID-19 proof of vaccination with QR code can also be uploaded to the SK Vax Wallet app.  Available in both the Apple and Google Play store, the SK Vax Wallet app has been updated to display the full vaccination certificate with the Saskatchewan and Canada identifiers to support international travel.

Once the app is updated on a user's device, the display should automatically show the new "View full vaccination certificate" feature. Timing of the update may be dependent on the version of the device being used and internet access. Users can also check the Apple and Google Play app stores for an update.

It is an individual traveller's responsibility to ensure understanding of vaccination requirements in other countries. More information about international travel can be found on the Government of Canada website. 

The SK Vax Wallet app has been downloaded more than 439,000 times since the app was introduced.
