Day 1 of the P.E.I. Vax Pass is in the books — here's how it went
CBC
With day one of the P.E.I. Vax Pass over, some businesses and customers say it went better than expected, while others say there's been some issues.
At Receiver Coffee in Charlottetown, customers like John MacFarlane said it was quick, easy and well worth it.
"I think it's good. I think it'll hopefully encourage more people to get vaccinated, and make everyone else feel more comfortable that everyone around them is vaccinated," MacFarlane said.
Another customer, Amy McLean, said she was just doing her part in getting things back to normal.
"I definitely felt a little bit safer having my mask off, where before there was some times I would take my mask off and you're not sure whose vaccinated, who's not vaccinated," she said.
Starting Tuesday, Islanders need to show proof of vaccination to get into non-essential businesses and events. A government-issued record of vaccination along with a drivers licence, for example, will work.
Gyms are also on the list of businesses where you need to show your vaccination record.
