With many British Columbians still working remotely, employers are likely counting on the COVID-19 vaccine to get people safely back to the office, but current law suggests they won't be able to compel their employees to get vaccinated.

Last Updated Wednesday, December 2, 2020 7:10PM PSTVANCOUVER -- With many British Columbians still working remotely, employers are likely counting on the COVID-19 vaccine to get people safely back to the office.

Frankel says given current principles and the state of Canadian law, “it’s safe to say employers probably at this point cannot mandate vaccinations as a condition of their employment.”“We have no mandatory immunization programs in this country and in this province, and we do not expect COVID immunization will be mandatory either,” she said during a news conference.

“They’re fully able to do that as a private business, and it’s not unheard of,” said Allison Wallace, director of media and communications for Flight Centre Canada.

Fake News CTV edits report because it showed actual, true stats for Covid deaths in Canada... Only 166 people actually died from Covid. (No underlying illnesses)

ctv_shannon why not tell the story of why would a vaccine be required when there is a cure! Are you really a reporter, remember your oath! Start telling the people the truth about covid and how it's all about the great reset, it takes courage to tell the truth!

should be able to. and government employees should be mandated too. especially those whining the most

With all the small businesses closing shop because of politi ians lol

If its forced it will come from Trudeau's government. Provincial government has no jurisdiction on a Canadian issue.

Do I get compensated?

Only if they plan to compensate when people experience drastic side effects. Any medication rushed to production, is cause for concern. Thalidomide anyone?

Forcing people to do stuff builds resentment and adds needless fear

No

Anyone not getting the vaccine should have to sign a waver that their health insurance will not cover COVID-19.

Not until they pay them in Rubles and make all communications Cyrillic. BC is not Russia!

Hmmm, most likely when it gets to SCOC it will be yes...

Nope. Read the constitution, 'journalists'.

They will try....

Better yet the alternative question, CTVnews.... Is one still able to work after one contracts COVID long-haul symptoms?

the answer just might surprise you!

No unless they want too get sued

Nope. They cannot.

No.
