Dr. Joss Reimer with the Vaccine Implementation Task Force says universities can make decisions on mandatory vaccinations. She explains on top of what the province decides to do in regards to mandatory vaccines, the universities can make their own decisions on what the expectations are for their students, employees, and people who are going to be on site without the province intervening.
Effective today, anyone born on or before December 31st 2009 is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
