Possible privacy breach on vaccine records website

A technical issue on the website used to access the updated QR code vaccine record for travel has resulted in a possible privacy breach on the morning of November 24.

Alberta Health’s support desk received 12 reports from Albertans that they got the wrong vaccine record when they entered their information on alberta.ca/CovidRecords. The information that appeared on the record is the name, date of birth and the COVID-19 vaccination information. The QR code record is not connected to any other health or personal information.

The website was shut down immediately following these reports. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the technical problem and the number of Albertans affected. It does not appear to be caused by a security breach to the system.
