The Saskatchewan government is removing the QR records from the COVID-19 vaccination records on the MySaskHealthRecord, temporarily, after an issue was discovered with the rollout. The codes will not be issued on vaccination certificates again until sometime next week. 

It was discovered that the records of up to 19 people had the potential of displaying in someone else’s QR code. Information from at least one person has been identified so far. 

Anyone who has already printed, downloaded or otherwise captured their QR code for their COVID-19 vaccination status is being asked to destroy or delete the code, as it will no longer be valid. Anyone who had another person’s name appear when the code was scanned is being asked to contact eHealth Saskatchewan’s Privacy Officer. 

"We are working closely with our vendor to investigate and resolve any issues and prevent other problems,” eHealth Saskatchewan Vice President of Programs and Technology Davin Church said. “We understand the high demand in Saskatchewan for records to meet proof of vaccination requirements.” 

Until the issue is resolved, other options that can be used include a wallet card or earlier version of the MySaskHealthRecord COVID-19 vaccine certificate, or a COVID-19 vaccine printout from the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
