Mich, I had posted a message with an article from iPhoneInCanada which contained a link as to how to do this using the website called "Grassroots", but when I just Googled this to find it again I found a new article which indicates that Ontario has now moved to using a so-called "verifiable health record" which can be directly scanned and added to the wallet. Here is the article:
Ontario Now Supports iOS 15 COVID-19 Vaccination Cards | How It Works<https://www.idropnews.com/news/ontario-now-supports-ios-15-covid-19-vaccination-cards-how-it-works/170662/> If you have your vaccination card with the QR code on the computer you can scan it directly from the screen, just open the file on the computer and instead of using the camera app I recommend using the Code Scanner feature which is part of Control Centre because it automatically recognizes the QR code and the message to add it to Health app and the Apple Wallet will pop up. If you use the camera you still have to tap a button to capture the QR code once the camera sees it, however, it does tell you when it sees it so you can try it either way, but that should be all there is to it. I don't know how you obtain the vaccine passport in the first place, but it could be possible I guess that if you had it for a while and it was since updated you may have to redownload it, here in British Columbia we have a website called Health Gateway and all you have to do to get the vaccine passport is to click the link for it and then enter your BC Medical Id, your birth date and either the date when you received your first or second shot as verification. Then the card is displayed and you can download it, open or print it and then scan the QR code. I already had mine on the computer so it literally took me less than a minute to open the file, walk up to my laptop, open Code Scanner from Control Centre and slowly move the phone across the screen from left to right, once I got towards the right side it recognized the QR code, a screen popped up with a button asking if I wanted to add it to Apple Wallet and the Health app and I tapped on that and it was done.

I tried using ira to take a pick of the papor and there was no qr coad on it. I also tried to upload the pdf files of each of my vaxseen sertiffickits that I have on my phone and those didn’t work eather even though there was a qr coad on at least one of those as well as the papor option one of them had a qr coad. Does any one have any ideas how elts I can do this? Many thanks. From Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada.

No, you can't upload the file as far as I know, the QR code on the card has to be scanned and at least I found the only way to do this is to display the card on a second screen or to have a print out. When I did mine I displayed it on my laptop screen and used the Code Scanner option, when I then added my wife's on her phone I decided to try a different approach and I printed out her vaccine passport and used the camera app. In my opinion using Code Scanner is easier because it captures the code automatically as soon as it sees it whereas with the camera app Voiceover told me a QR code was present, but I then realized after nothing happened that there was a button which I think was labelled "Capture QR Code" and I had to tap that. But once I did it also worked. If you want to use Code Scanner this is not an app per say, you have to access it via the Control Centre similar to how you access the Flashlight which is also not an app but a feature. This means you may have to add it to the Control Panel because I can't remember if it is there by default. I would first bring up Control Centre and check, if it is not there go to Settings > Control Centre, look for it under the "More Controls" heading and then double tap on where it says "Insert Code Scanner". Regardless whether you use Code Scanner or the Camera app, once the QR code is recognized a message pops up asking if you want to add the card to Apple Wallet and Health, just tap Add and you are done; it's super simple. Keep in mind that here in Canada this works with vaccination passports from BC and a few other provinces whose cards meet the standard which Apple required for this. If you are in Ontario and a province where this is not the case it won't work, but for Ontario there is a third-party work-around, I had posted the link for that in the article from iPhoneInCanada where I first read that this should be easy to do if you are in British Columbia. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
