Now that doses are being given out, requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination is something that's being considered and Justin Trudeau said it might work internationally but not domestically.

On CTV's Your Morning on March 12, he reiterated that countries, including Canada, are looking into vaccine passports for international travel.

When it comes to making people show proof to get into things like sporting events or restaurants in Canada, Trudeau has concerns about equality and fairness.

He said that we have to recognize that not everyone is going to get vaccinated for different reasons so "we need to be very, very careful about moving forward."

Days before Trudeau made these comments, a WHO expert said that requiring vaccine passports for international travel could further inequity and unfairness because vaccines are not equitably available.
