Where I live in British Columbia, Canada, the vaccine mandate stays in place until April 8 for reasons no one can figure out. I'm actually skeptical they'll ever lift the requirement.

It's a Covid passport. Good distinction. Our public health officer actually calls it a "vaccine card" program. As if it's no big deal.
Showing the passport (QR code scanned by another person's phone) is required for most indoor gatherings and events. Restaurants, cinemas, gyms, meditation, pet therapy, swimming pools -- these are only for the vaxxed. Even many church services were reserved for the 'clean' (the 'unclean' can go back to their computers to pray).
The program does acknowledge some grounds for exemption (anaphylaxis, for example) but not many.
One of the universities in my province attempted to deregister its unvaxxed students recently, until the local medical authority (in Vancouver) openly declared there is no scientific basis for segregation by vaccination status. The university changed course after receiving that letter (fortunately!). But even our "institutions of higher learning" are tempted to cater to fear instead of using data and evidence to guide their decisions.
It's worth noting that my fellow citizens seem to love the program. And that's why I believe it will return, even if they cancel it at some point.
During yesterday's update, the public health officer continually compared my province to other jurisdictions, both within Canada and beyond. I think this is now some sort of a competition for her.
I forgot to add that vaccination is to become a condition of licensure for health care and para health care workers (dentists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, etc) in British Columbia.
Trudeau's party won only 5.6M votes; the other major party won 5.7M votes. Yet, with our system, Trudeau is seen as our legitimate Prime Minister with dictator-like power.
Our democracy is a farce.
Not to mention he "bailed out" all the media (except one) with public dollars, so they are all beholden to him and his party and the ruling elite.

Is it a vaccine mandate or is it covid passports? How does it work where you live?

I have to go to Vancouver (from the free state Florida) for work the week of March 30th and I feel like I'm going to a prison.
The freedom of Florida seems like a dream to me.

I still can not believe that you all kept Trudeau in office. For sure Biden did NOT win here, it was stolen.
Um, yeah, that was jaw-dropping for me too.
Canada's population is ~38M.
Trudeau's party won only 5.6M votes; the other major party won 5.7M votes. Yet, with our system, Trudeau is seen as our legitimate Prime Minister with dictator-like power.
