B.C. vaccine cards will no longer be required starting April 8th to access indoor businesses and attend events.
Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry today confirmed that the province will follow the plan announced last month even though there is a slight increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in B.C.
In addition to removing the need to show proof of vaccination, the post-secondary residence vaccine requirement will also be lifted this Friday.
British Columbia businesses can also transition to communicable disease plans from the COVID-19 safety plan.

Dr. Henry and Minister of Health, Adrian Dix, reiterated the importance of COVID-19 booster doses today.
“Thanks to the many British Columbians who have stayed up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines, we are seeing high levels of immunity and protection in our communities,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Boosters are an important part of continuing to protect those who are most at risk as restrictions continue to be lifted, and I encourage everyone to make time in their day to get a booster dose.”
B.C. is currently vaccinating seniors in long-term care and assisted living facilities as part of the spring booster vaccine program. Community-dwelling seniors over the age of 70 and Indigenous people over the age of 55 will also begin receiving their invitations for their spring booster dose – a new booster dose for eligible seniors who received their third shot six months ago or more.
The province will increase the supply of rapid tests to residents.
Starting Monday, April 11, 2022, residents can pick up rapid tests without needing to show their B.C. personal health number. Currently, rapid antigen tests are available to people aged 18 years and older through community pharmacies.
59.5 per cent of British Columbians have received the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine
