Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health updated the province’s definition for those who it considers to be fully vaccinated to recognize World Health Organization approved vaccines. This brings welcome news for some international students and employees who may have already received a full set of COVID-19 vaccines outside of Canada.

If you are now fully vaccinated please update your U of A vaccination status to ‘fully vaccinated’ as soon as possible; you are no longer required to participate in regular rapid testing. Also the University has outlined October 4th as the start of the proof of vaccination timeline

When and how community members that are fully or partially vaccinated can provide their vaccine verification will be available by October 4 by the university but you can right now visit alberta.ca/CovidRecords where Albertans 12 and older can get a card-sized vaccine record through the new express system.
