Quebec's vaccination passport to be gradually phased out by March 14

Quebec's public health officials said Tuesday that the vaccination passport will be gradually phased out. The passport will no longer be required to access big box, liquor or cannabis stores as of tomorrow.

As of Wednesday, the passport will no longer be required to access big box stores, cannabis stores, or liquor stores. It will no longer be required at places of worship and funerals as of Feb. 21.

"We are removing it gradually as we live to learn with the virus," said Health Minister Christian Dubé.

The vaccine passport remains in place for travel abroad, and Dubé said it may be used in the future if another COVID-19 wave hits. 

"If I had some advice: keep it on your phone," said Dubé.
