Quebec may start using digital vaccination passports to bar people who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 from certain non-essential services as early as September, the province's health minister announced on Thursday. But earlier this week, the federal government eased border rules for fully vaccinated Canadians and permanent residents returning to the country, allowing them to forego the 14-day quarantine period. People travelling to Quebec's affected regions from abroad would also need proof of adequate vaccination to access certain services, Dubé said. Health officials didn't specify any targets needed to avoid the implementation of vaccine passports, nor did they define a threshold that would prompt the introduction of the practice. As of today, 40 per cent of Quebec's eligible population has been fully vaccinated.
