Update your vaccine record

• You must generate a new vaccine record at alberta.ca/CovidRecords every time you get another dose.
• It may take up to 2 weeks for your record to be updated online.

Accepted vaccine doses

• Fully vaccinated means at least 14 days have passed since the second dose of a 2-dose vaccine, or single dose of a one-dose vaccine (Janssen).

Alberta residents

• If you or your children under 18 were partially or fully vaccinated outside of Alberta, update your health records by submitting your digital out-of-province/country immunization records online at ahs.ca/vaccineregistry.
• Submitted records will be reviewed by AHS:
  • If more information is required to validate your record, AHS will contact you.
  • If your record cannot be validated, a letter will be sent. Book an appointment to begin or complete a valid COVID-19 vaccination series
• Verified information will be available on alberta.ca/CovidRecords in 2 to 3 weeks.

New to Alberta

• If you recently moved to Alberta, use your provincial vaccine record with QR code or out-of-country vaccine records.
• New residents who were not vaccinated in Alberta cannot get an Alberta-issued vaccine record.

Vaccinated within last 2 weeks

• If you were vaccinated recently, it may take up to 2 weeks for your records to be updated. Try again later.

Vaccinated more than 2 weeks ago

• Make sure your personal health number and date of birth are entered exactly as displayed on your Alberta Personal Health Card.
• Make sure your month and year of vaccination are correct. Contact your vaccine provider if you can't remember when you were vaccinated.
• If your information is entered correctly and the record still isn't found, submit a support request.

Vaccinated in Alberta without personal health number

• If you were vaccinated in Alberta but don't yet have an Alberta Personal Health Number, call 811 to get a vaccine record with QR code sent to you.
• If you become eligible for an Alberta Personal Health Number, you can use it to access your vaccine record online at alberta.ca/CovidRecords.

You changed your name

• You must update your Alberta Personal Health Card information any time your name or address changes or experience a life event.
• Complete these steps to update your health card account.
• Once your health care card is updated, get your vaccine record at alberta.ca/CovidRecords.

Did not change your name

• If your personal health card information is correct, but does not match the name on your vaccine record, submit a support request.

• If the vaccine name, doses, or the date administered is incorrect on your record, contact your vaccine provider to have your entry corrected:
  • Call 811 if you were vaccinated at an AHS clinic.
  • Call the pharmacy or physician's office you were vaccinated at.

Vaccinated within last 2 weeks

• If you were vaccinated recently, it may take up to 2 weeks for your records to be updated. Try again later.

Vaccinated more than 2 weeks ago

• If you were vaccinated in Alberta more than 2 weeks ago and it's still not showing up on your record, submit a support request.
• Your vaccine record will be updated only once your vaccine provider, such as a pharmacy, confirms the administered doses.
• The time it takes to verify the authenticity of vaccination and update the record varies depending on when the vaccine provider submits the information.

Travel within Canada

• Your updated Alberta-issued vaccine record with QR code is considered valid proof of vaccination for travel purposes.

International travel requirements

• Foreign countries may require Canadian travellers to provide proof of vaccination to visit. Check the requirements of individual countries, state/local governments, cruise lines and events before travelling abroad.
• Alberta's vaccine record has been updated to meet the Canadian standard for domestic and international travel.
  • Get your vaccine record from alberta.ca/CovidRecords before travelling.
  • Your proof does not guarantee entry to another country.
• Provinces retain the vaccination records of their respective residents. Your data will not be shared with the federal or other provincial governments.

• If you were vaccinated in Alberta but are from another province or country, you can send them your Alberta immunization record(s) to update their vaccination system.
• Check the instructions for your home province or country.
