China News Service, Toronto, October 21 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in Ottawa on October 21 that the standardized Canadian COVID-19 vaccination voucher can be used in most provinces and regions of the country.

At the same time, the Canadian government is promoting the country’s vaccination certificate to obtain international recognition so that it can be used for cross-border travel.

　　Such certificates are known as "vaccine passports."

Canadian officials stated that the certificate provides a reliable and safe way to prove the history of COVID-19 vaccination of Canadians in Canada or abroad.

Trudeau said that he is "very confident" in accepting Canadian vaccination vouchers around the world.

　　At present, many provinces in Canada have begun to implement their own "vaccine passport."

The Canadian Federal Government stated that the new standardized vaccination voucher will soon be universal across the country.

　　Canadian officials announced earlier this month that employers in the aviation, railway, and water transportation industries regulated by the federal government need to introduce measures before October 30 to ensure that their employees are vaccinated.

Starting from the same day, air passengers and passengers from some railway companies must, in principle, be fully vaccinated.

At that time, passengers can use the federal or provincial "vaccine passport."

　　The Canadian government also promised that the federal "vaccine passport" respects personal privacy and only contains the minimum information needed to determine whether a passenger meets the epidemic prevention requirements.

　　As Canada's most important neighbor, the United States will reopen "non-essential" travel between Canada and the United States on November 8.

However, cross-border passengers must show proof of vaccination.

　　The new cabinet of the Canadian government led by Trudeau will be sworn in on October 26.

The Canadian authorities have made a number of commitments to promote new crown vaccination within 100 days of the new cabinet's inauguration.

In addition to the implementation of a unified national "vaccine passport", other commitments include ensuring that passengers over the age of 12 plus domestic planes and trains are fully vaccinated; ensuring that people working in workplaces managed by the federal government are fully vaccinated; and harassing or threatening The behavior of medical staff is criminalized and so on.

　　At present, about 83% of the eligible population over 12 years old in Canada have achieved full vaccination of the new crown vaccine.

Approximately 73% of the national population has been fully vaccinated.
