B.C.'s vaccine card fails to show 2 doses for some as deadline approaches for full vaccination
CBC
Ray Greene was quick to get his COVID-19 shots when he became eligible in the spring, and he was quick to log on and access his B.C. vaccine card to prove he was vaccinated.
But after realizing the digital card didn't show his correct immunization status, the wait to have it fixed has been anything but quick.
"My earlier dose is still not showing up on my vaccine passport, even though it's been there for months," said Greene, who lives in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island.
He registered the error about three weeks ago — and was told it would take four to seven days to have it resolved — but Greene's vaccine card still doesn't reflect his full immunization status.
B.C.'s vaccine passport system has been in effect since Sept. 13. It's being phased in, so a single vaccine dose is currently enough to access dine-in restaurants, non-essential services, and events. But as of Oct. 24, full vaccination will be required for those things.
According to Premier John Horgan, 3.4 million people have accessed their vaccine card. Most have had a smooth experience, but many people, like Greene, have encountered glitches.
Pam Armstrong, who lives in Nelson, B.C., ran across the same error as Greene — one of her doses didn't appear on the vaccine card.
