Canadians would soon be required to be fully vaccinated before getting on a plane or train: PM Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is again reminding Canadians that encouraging people to get vaccinated and protecting those who have gotten their shots is the key way through this pandemic and out of it.

He says his government will move ahead with the five vaccine-related priorities that he committed to during the election campaign, like a vaccine mandate for federal workers and requiring travellers to be fully vaccinated before getting on a plane or train.

He’s also ready to move on his promise to health-care workers.

Rounding out his top five priorities include finalizing a vaccine passport for Canadians travelling abroad, and helping to foot part of the bill for provinces that have moved forward with their own proof-of-vaccination system.
