Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suggested making Covid-19 vaccines compulsory for government employees.
"We need to get vaccinated to get through this pandemic, particularly with all the real concerns around the Delta variant we are facing that is striking hardest, obviously, in under-vaccinated and non-vaccinated people," Trudeau said.
Saying that there were “no more excuses” for not getting vaccinated against Covid-19, Trudeau revealed that he has already asked Canada’s senior-most bureaucrat, the clerk of the privy council, to consider his plan for mandating vaccination of government workers.
He added that his administration was looking at government-regulated workplaces “to encourage or perhaps even to mandate vaccinations for those industries”.
As of now, nearly 65 percent of the eligible population has been fully vaccinated and almost 80 percent of the eligible population has received the first dose of the vaccine in Canada.
