For those new to new technologies, here are some information and easy steps to download the application and then the vaccination QR code:

- Go to App Store and search for “VaxiCode”. The application will be available on Google Play in the coming days.

- Download the free app (yellow icon with a syringe, a vial and a lily flower in the right corner)

- Launch the application. A startup wizard will ask you to authorize the use of the camera

- Click on “Add existing vaccine evidence”

- There are three options to save this proof: scan a QR code (by taking a photo of it), get a QR code from the self-service portal, or choose a picture of the QR code from your phone

You must have at least an iPhone 6, iPod touch or iPad with iOS11 software.

On Android devices, the software version must be at least 8.1.

Here is also how you can present this proof from September 1^st:

- Open the VaxiCode app

- Touch the screen on your vaccine proof. Only the QR code is displayed with your name. You do not need to reveal more information during an audit

- If you want to see more details about your vaccination proof, click on the 'view details' button

The Government of Quebec reminds you that it is important to update the application in order to ensure the "proper functioning" of the application to display the most up-to-date QR code.

Note that at the end of the day on Wednesday, VaxiCode and VaxiCode verif were the most downloaded free applications in the country.

However, they were still not available on Google Play.
