A source within Manitoba Shared Health’s IT department told LifeSiteNews about new QR code capabilities being developed for COVID-19 vaccine cards.
(LifeSiteNews) — The Canadian province of Manitoba may be looking into creating a type of COVID-19 vaccine record card enabled by QR code, which could be used as a sort of digital “vaccine passport” according to a source who works with the government.
In an interview with LifeSiteNews, a source within Manitoba Shared Health’s IT department spoke on the condition of anonymity about new QR code capabilities being developed for COVID-19 vaccine cards.
The source said that information he has seen appears to show the new type of computer program using QR code technology dubbed “Vaxcard.”
A QR code is a form of a barcode which links to information and was invented 1994. It is widely used for a variety of applications.
The “Vaxcard” technology appears to be in a “near release” stage of development, and for now does not include phone applications, although the source told LifeSiteNews a phone app is “likely.”
“I get to see a lot of these systems before they are released, and it was brought up on our team, we were working on this. It can be used to generate a QR code with a link to the Manitoba [government] website and list vaccine records and status of COVID-19 vaccine stats, or possibly be used for other shots, as well,” said the source.
