COVID-19 Vaccination Certifications

Schools can capture COVID-19 vaccination certificates from their staff. The Certificate will be a global record, available to all schools. Administrators with Manage Certifications permission will be able to manage, track and verify Vaccination Certifications.

If an Administrator has Manage Certifications permission, then they will be able to see the Certifications tab on the left-hand side. If they cannot see the Certifications tab, they don’t have permission to manage Certifications.

An Administrator can change their Manage Certifications permission to No. Still, they cannot give themselves access if they don’t already have it - only an Administrator with active Manage Certifications permission can give that permission to another Administrator.
