Over the past two months, governments across the country have
begun implementing various vaccination measures in an effort to
curb rising COVID-19 case numbers.
All provincial governments have announced or have begun
implementing some form of vaccine passport system to restrict
access to certain non-essential businesses to only fully vaccinated
individuals or, in some instances, individuals who provide a recent
negative COVID-19 test result.
The federal government, along with several provincial
governments, have also announced plans to implement mandatory
vaccination policies for government employees and employees in
certain industries. In British Columbia, for instance, the
provincial government announced in August that vaccinations would
be mandatory for all healthcare workers, volunteers and personal
service providers entering long-term care settings by
mid-October.
