Nova Scotia COVID-19 Supplier Attestation
Effective March 21, 2022, all Suppliers working on behalf of the Nova Scotia Government and entering government facilities and/or interacting with provincial employees or the public, will not be required to show proof of vaccination to work in or visit provincial workplaces or worksites.
Some high-risk government workplaces may still require proof of vaccination. Suppliers should contact their provincial Contract Manager for more information.
Although there will no longer be a proof of vaccine requirement for Suppliers, we will continue to request that Suppliers attest their vaccination status when renewing or bidding on future contracts. This is to ensure we have accurate data on vaccination status in case the epidemiology changes.
For Suppliers who complete the attestation, the form must be completed by an authorized representative of the supplier.
Only one attestation form is required per supplier to address all contracts with the Province.
No personal health information of supplier employees will be collected.
