In response to changes to the Public Health Orders a number of facilities will be implementing changes on December 6, 2021.
University of Manitoba
After December 6, 2021, as recommended by the Province of Manitoba, the UM will ONLY be accepting Manitoba Immunization Cards, Manitoba Digital QR codes, Pan-Canadian PVC QR codes, ArriveCAN, and National Defense Canada Covid-19 Vaccine Record/Cards as immunization proof for entry into our facilities for individuals 18+. Any immunization records from out of country will not be accepted. Any immunization records from any other provinces or territories (with the exception of Alberta) will not be accepted. Any printouts of immunization records that do not contain scannable QR codes will not be accepted.
For those who are 12-17, starting December 6th we will accept printouts of immunization records indicating individuals have received at least one dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna or proof of a negative rapid COVID-19 test result within the previous 72 hours that is confirmed by a pharmacist. This will be accepted until January at which time individuals 12-17 will have to be fully immunized.
