The Vaccine Verification Rebate (VVR) program was introduced in response to the Vaccine Verification rules brought into effect November 13, 2021. The program aims to help businesses and societies offset the purchase costs of scanners or equivalent technology required for them to comply with the new vaccine verification rules, using the YG approved application. The program is available to all Yukon businesses and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that are required to verify vaccine status under the Civil Emergency Measures Act (CEMA). Governments and their corporations are not eligible. The program provides a rebate for eligible equipment purchases made between November 8, 2021 and December 20, 2021. Businesses or societies whose applications are approved receive a 50% rebate of eligible expenses to a maximum rebate of $500.
