Covid-19: Canada to require vaccination for all federal workers by autumn (BBC)
All civil servants in Canada must be vaccinated by the end of October or risk losing their jobs, the government has announced.
The mandate also applies to workers in federally regulated sectors, like rail.
Commercial air, cruise and interprovincial train passengers must also be vaccinated to travel.
Canada has one of the highest Covid vaccination rates in the world, with 81% of eligible people having received at least one dose.
"This is the best way to end the pandemic and allow the economy to safely remain open," said Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc on Friday.
