You need to log into your MySaskHealthRecord account, or set up an account if you don’t have one.
Visit here to learn how to do that. You can print or download your record, store it in the SK Vax Wallet app or view it on mobile devices.
Parents and legal guardians can request permanent access to the health information of their child(ren) under the age of 14 in MySaskHealthRecord. To request access, please follow the steps outlined in our
Frequently Asked Questions , which includes
submitting a form to request access.
A QR code is a type of barcode that can be read easily by a digital device. It stores information as a series of pixels in a square-shaped grid.
The digital wallet – SK Vax Wallet – is an app that allows you upload your COVID-19 vaccine record. Your COVID-19 vaccine record holds the QR code, whereas the wallet holds your record.
It will no longer be available; the new version of the record with the QR code replaces the older version. The new format with QR code notes the individual’s name, type of vaccine administered, date, country/province of issuance and lot number.
It depends on what each business/organization requires as proof of vaccination. It is up to entities to decide. The new version with the QR code is easily scanned. The verifier is then able to quickly determine if an individual is fully vaccinated using the SK Vax Verifier app.
It displays as a one-page print-out with a QR code, also noting the individual’s name, type of vaccine administered, date, country/province of issuance, and lot number. That information is also embedded in the QR code itself.
No, although there are advantages to using it. With the app, you can simply “open” your virtual wallet and display your record with the QR code, for quick scanning. This is a more efficient process than trying to download your record from your eHealth Saskatchewan account at the point of entering a concert, for example. It can also save you time scrolling through photos/images of your record saved elsewhere on your device.
Downloading your record into SK Vax Wallet right away also lets you know your verification status ahead of when you may actually need to show it – a green indicator means you meet vaccination requirements, red means you do not.
There are many options for proving your COVID-19 status in Saskatchewan:
- QR code/MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate uploaded to SK Vax Wallet
- A printed copy of your MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate (with or without a QR code)
- A screenshot of your MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate (with or without a QR code) saved to your device
- An earlier version of your MySaskHealthRecord COVID-19 vaccine certificate
- Your wallet card issued at time of vaccinations
- A COVID-19 vaccine printout from Saskatchewan Health Authority Public Health
Yes. The app is available for free download via Google Play and Apple app stores for businesses/organizations who choose to use it.
If the SK Vax Verifier app is used, the only thing the verifier (the person/organization scanning your QR code) sees is the individual’s first and last name, and an indicator colour for the proof of vaccination: green (full vaccinated) or red (not fully vaccinated). However, if entities use a different application to scan the QR code, they may see more information. The SK Vax Verifier app is available now for download via Google Play and Apple app stores.
The Saskatchewan verifier app (SK Vax Verifier) is secure. The QR code is only scanned; the information is not saved or retained. An internet connection is not required to scan the QR code. We cannot speak for other verifier apps a business may use.
A green verification means fully vaccinated, a red indicator means not fully vaccinated. Specifically:
Green - You meet criteria to be considered “fully vaccinated,” meaning 14 days after receiving:
- the second of two doses of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (all interchangeable between the two doses) OR
- 1 dose of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.
Red - You do not meet the criteria to be considered fully vaccinated. It is up to the business/organization to determine whether to grant access.
Yes. If you have a MySaskHealthRecord account, you are able to see your COVID-19 proof of vaccination with QR code. The record will capture the COVID-19 vaccines you have received. When scanned with the SK Vax Verifier application, the QR code will indicate your vaccination status. For those who are partially vaccinated, the verifier application will display a red indicator (not fully vaccinated).
The verification app does not include a “partially vaccinated” indicator. It will simply display a red indicator, to signal you do not meet the criteria to be considered fully vaccinated.
It is up to the business/organization to grant access. Options to receive a vaccine include:
- Make an appointment at a pharmacy; see the
locator tool for participating pharmacies.
A benefit to having SK Vax Wallet is that it will verify your status immediately – as soon as you upload your proof of vaccine record with QR code – so you can know in advance if you will receive a fully vaccinated/green status when your QR code is scanned using the SK Vax Verifier app.
Yes, if scanned by the SK Vax Verifier app, and you meet the criteria for “fully vaccinated” you will show as green/verified. A missing lot number will not impact your green/verified status.
Fully vaccinated means 14-days after receiving:
- the second of two doses of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (all interchangeable between the two doses), OR
- 1 dose of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.
Yes. If your vaccination status has changed, you will need to obtain a new proof of vaccination containing a QR code. You can do this by saving/downloading it to your mobile device. You can also print it. This will be available in your MySaskHealthRecord account 14 days after receiving:
- the second of two doses of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD (all interchangeable between the two doses), OR
- 1 dose of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.
An internet connection is required to download or print your QR code from your MySaskHealthRecord account. Once it is downloaded or printed, you do not need an internet connection to use it.
Yes, instructions (steps, video) are available
here.
This option allows you to download a SMART health card file that can be uploaded for use in applications that can accept this type of file (e.g. the latest version of the Apple Health app). In order to open the file you require an application that can accept a SMART health card file. The file does contain your proof of vaccination certificate and QR code and is not empty. As more applications that utilize this technology come on the market in the coming months, we wanted to ensure that this was an option for citizens. In the meantime, citizens are encouraged to use the PDF option to save, print, or screen capture (mobile devices only) as the optimal way to store and use their proof of vaccination certificate.
Once you acquire your vaccine record with the QR code from MySaskHealthRecord it will be stored wherever you decide to put it. In addition to saving it to the SK Vax Wallet, you can print it or save it as a screenshot, a photo in your album, a PDF or printed document.
No – whether you print or download your record with the QR code, the code is the same.
Yes. Depending on the size, you may need to expand/stretch the code (with your fingers) for the verifier to scan.
No – Saskatchewan is not offering a plastic card. There are many options for proving your COVID-19 status in Saskatchewan:
- QR code/MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate uploaded to SK Vax Wallet
- A printed copy of your MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate (with or without a QR code)
- A screenshot of your MySaskHealthRecord vaccine certificate (with or without a QR code) saved to your device
- An earlier version of your MySaskHealthRecord COVID-19 vaccine certificate
- Your wallet card issued at time of vaccinations
- A COVID-19 vaccine printout from Saskatchewan Health Authority Public Health
Saskatchewan’s new proof of vaccine certificate with digital QR code supports proof of vaccination at border entry if travelling internationally, and is aligned with work the federal government is undertaking on a national proof of vaccination certificate. It is an individual traveler’s responsibility to ensure they understand vaccination requirements in other countries.
It would be best to consult with the organizers of the event or activity which you are planning to attend, to determine what kind of proof of vaccination may be required. Find more information on
proof of vaccination requirements here.
You can save/download/screenshot it to your mobile device. You can also print it. You can also store your proof of vaccination in the Saskatchewan Vaccination Wallet app (SK Vax Wallet), which you can download for free from Google Play or the Apple App Store following the instructions
here.
“Verifiers” – businesses and other organizations – can download the Saskatchewan Vaccine Verifier app (SK Vax Verifier) for free from Google Play or Apple App stores. No internet connection is required to use the app – making it easy and convenient. Videos and steps for downloading and using SK Vax Verifier are
available here. More information for businesses is
available here.
The SK Vax Verifier app we provide is secure, safe, and doesn’t share or retain an individual’s information. It also screens and tells the business whether an individual is fully vaccinated as determined by the province.
Our QR code verifier app will be available free to businesses, but does not preclude them from using other SMART Health Card compliant QR Code readers that simply list what vaccines an individual has had. Businesses that require proof of vaccine are in the best position to determine how they want to screen customers.
Yes, you can make a request through a public health office for a print-out of your immunization record; however, this report will not contain the QR code. There is a fee and there may be a significant wait-time. Be aware that the public health record of immunization may not support access to travel or events or venues outside of Saskatchewan. It is highly recommended that you make a MySaskHealthRecord account to access your COVID-19 proof of vaccination. Go to:
www.ehealthsask.ca/MySaskHealthRecord/MySaskHealthRecord/. Information is confidential and secure. A print-out of your immunization record can be obtained through public health if you do not have a driver’s license or photo ID.
In early October 2021 individuals who are not eligible for MySaskHealthRecord will be able to request a QR Code version of their COVID-19 vaccine record through eHealth Saskatchewan. More details will be provided on the eHealth website when available.
If your record is missing information or there is an error, please submit the
online COVID-19 Immunization Record Update Request Form and supporting documents.
You can also call 1-844-767-8259 (press 1, then 3 for the menu options); you still need to fill out the form.
Please note: if you submitted a request/form earlier, there is
no need to re-submit. We will act on your earlier request and you will receive an email reply when it is completed.
It would be best to consult with the airline or cruise line or the jurisdiction to which you are travelling, or event organizers, to determine what kind of proof of vaccination/level of detail may be required.
The form shows up this way if you’ve not received a COVID-19 vaccine. If your record is missing information or there is an error, submit the
online COVID-19 Immunization Record Update Request Form and supporting documents. You can also call 1-844-767-8259 (press 1, then 3 for the menu options). You still need to fill out the form.
Please note: if you submitted a request/form earlier, there is
no need to re-submit. We will act on your earlier request and you will receive an email reply when it is completed.
If you’ve recently completed registration for your MySaskHealthRecord account, it can take 24-28 hours for all information to be loaded into your account. Please check back after 24-28 hours before submitting an Immunization Record Update Request Form.
To sign up for MySaskHealthRecord you must:
- Be a Saskatchewan resident 14 years of age or older; AND
- Have an active Saskatchewan health card; AND
- Have a valid Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) driver’s licence or SGI photo ID card.
Please go to eHealthSask.ca, or click
here to sign up for MySaskHealthRecord and follow the registration steps. If you have any questions or need assistance, please use the virtual assistant or call the Service Desk at 1-844-767-8259.
To sign up for MySaskHealthRecord, you must have an active Saskatchewan health card and a valid Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) driver’s licence or SGI photo ID card.
Your health card information needs to be up-to-date with eHealth Saskatchewan, including your full name, date of birth, and current mailing address. To ensure your health card information is up-to-date, please visit eHealthSask.ca or contact the Service Desk at 1-800-667-7551.
Effective Sept. 20, 2021, Step 3 of the registration process (PIN validation) has been temporarily suspended to support COVID-19 proof of vaccination requirements. This step is not required at this time. Once you have completed Step 2 of the registration process (health card and SGI photo verification), your account will be activated. It may take up to 24 hours for your health information to populate in your MySaskHealthRecord account.
The change is being made to support the Oct. 1 proof of vaccination requirement to help curb transmission of COVID-19. As a result of recent announcements related to the pandemic regarding proof of vaccination, there has been an increased surge in demand for access to MySaskHealthRecord.
To accommodate quicker access to an individual’s vaccination record, while maintaining verification through key identity verification documents, eHealth is implementing an interim amendment to its MySaskHealthRecord registration process.
Effective Sept. 20, 2021, the new interim process will see the PIN requirement suspended for a period of 3-4 months to allow individuals quicker access to their MySaskHealthRecord and proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
The temporary suspension began Sept. 20, 2021. After the interim period (estimated 3-4 months), the PIN function will be restored and individuals who registered under this interim process will be mailed their PIN (or they can call in to eHealth to retrieve). This means that following reinstatement of the PIN, at first logon, users will be prompted for the PIN in order to access their record. Access will be disabled until such time they enter the PIN provided to them.
Yes – for those people who have already requested PINs, they will not be required to receive a callback for a PIN. The change to suspend the PIN is effective Sept. 20, and will allow anybody prior or after who has not received and validated the PIN within the registration process, to immediately proceed to logging in to MySaskHealthRecord. Those in this circumstance will be notified that the PIN verification step is not required (so they are not waiting), and that they can access their record.
PIN verification is normally the final step in the registration process. It requires you to call the MySaskHealthRecord Service Desk at 1-844-767-8259 and press 1, then 5 on your keypad to request your PIN and complete your MySaskHealthRecord registration. The PIN can also be mailed out on request (call 1-844-767-8259). Once you receive your PIN, you can start using MySaskHealthRecord right away. It may take up to 24 hours for your health information (up to the past three years) to populate in your account.
If you were not born in Canada, your legal entitlement document may only have a last name and no first name listed (i.e. Last Name: John Jacob Smith, First Name: [BLANK]). If this is the case, your SGI driver’s licence or SGI photo ID card may only have the last name listed on the card.
For Saskatchewan health cards, both the last name and first name fields must be filled in. eHealth Saskatchewan’s standard is to enter the last name into the first name field if you don’t have a first name (i.e. Last Name: John Jacob Smith, First Name: John Jacob Smith). Please enter your last name into both the last name and first name fields if this situation applies to you when you complete the health card information during registration.
Yes, parents and legal guardians can now have permanent access to the health information of their children under the age of 14. Please note that once your child turns 14, they will have to sign up for their own MySaskHealthRecord account and you will no longer have access to their health information in MySaskHealthRecord.
Parents and legal guardians who want access to their child(ren)’s health information in MySaskHealthRecord must have their own MySaskHealthRecord account, as your child’s health information will be directly connected to your account. If you do not already have a MySaskHealthRecord account, you can sign up at eHealthSask.ca.
You will need to complete a request form:
Request for Access to Child's MySaskHealthRecord at eHealthSask.ca.
Parents and legal guardians will then need to submit proof of parentage/guardianship documentation with their completed request form. They can refer to Section 3 of the form, but some examples include a long-form birth certificate, adoption order or guardianship order. If you do not have proof of parentage and your child was born in Saskatchewan, eHealth has developed an interim process where an eligible person can provide authorization for Vital Statistics to provide verification of proof of parentage. Please contact the eHealth Privacy Service at privacyandaccess@ehealthsask.ca or 1-855-347-5465 for more information.
Email the completed form and proof of parentage/guardianship documentation to:PrivacyandAccess@eHealthSask.ca
Once the request has been received, the eHealth Privacy Service will have 30 days to complete the request as outlined in
The Health Information Protection Act. For any questions, please contact eHealth at
PrivacyandAccess@eHealthSask.ca or
1-855-eHS-LINK (347-5465).
When your child turns 14 years old, they will be able to sign up for their own MySaskHealthRecord account by following the regular sign up process on eHealthSask.ca. You will also receive an email from our Service Desk that you no longer have access to their health information in your MySaskHealthRecord account. However, your child will be able to share their MySaskHealthRecord account with you by clicking on the “Account” drop down in the top right corner of MySaskHealthRecord. They simply select “Share Record” and follow the steps outlined on the page. This feature will allow them to share their MySaskHealthRecord with you or anyone else who has a MySaskHealthRecord account.
