In September 2021 Italy became the first European Country to make COVID-19 health passes mandatory for all workers. By the end of the same month Canada, the United States, Australia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Turkmenistan all announced similar vaccine mandates. Proponents of the mandate argue that these mandates are the only way to end the global COVID-19 pandemic. Opponents cite evidence that people who already have natural immunity are at heightened risk of vaccine side effects caused by an augmented inflammatory response.

No, the Covid vaccine can be a health hazard for some individuals. Each person must be assessed on a case by case basis.
@B4FKL3L2wks2W
Absolutely NOT , the reasons that no one should be forced to inject stuff into their body is so obvious, enough said. Paticulary when Covid was " authorized under emergency conditions" and not even a legal vaccine when first came out.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Yes, but do it through power of mandating it for air, train transit, and across borders, as well as attached to funding in the Canada Health Act.
@9DTTBXP2yrs2Y
I believe no, unless there’s an epidemic or pandemic in which government needs to properly regulate
@B2C6CJZ3mos3MO
The government should have no say in what medications we have to take. They just need to make sure the medications available are safe.
@9W7GNYV6mos6MO
I think that the government should mandate vaccines in healthcare and some other industries, and require vaccination in large enough numbers to spark herd immunity.
@9V646B97mos7MO
No, however it depends on the field of work and their closeness to clients. If you work in medical, yes
@9TCTT4X7mos7MO
Depending on the business and job title - is this in healthcare? does the person work from home? different circumstances.
@9SLJBJV8mos8MO
Required for those working with vulnerable people (those looking after children, teachers, community support workers, anyone in any level of care facility…medical office, hospital, long term care).
if they don't want to be then let them, but if they get COVID they would have to pay for whatever they need having to do with COVID
@95YS33B3yrs3Y
Yes, unless employee has had serious adverse affects to previous vaccinations or other health issues
@95K5YQG3yrs3Y
Yes, but I don't think that we can actively force businesses to have employees that are vaccinated. I think we should make it hard for people not to be vaccinated by making vaccines mandatory to travel, and cross the border, so that people understand that this is a dangerous virus that is affecting many groups of people, but I think that the government would be challenged in court if they were to actively do this.
@958MGXP3yrs3Y
If they are not medically safe to intake it then no.
@937LMWD3yrs3Y
no, Not the job of government to regulate this aspect of business
@8Z7J25N3yrs3Y
Yes, but with the proviso of medical exemptions still being valid.
@8YJKZFV3yrs3Y
Yes, the government should require everyone to be vaccinated against COVID
@8X2LCJJ3yrs3Y
They should be obliterated for assisting the capitalist pigs
@8WC7RRR4yrs4Y
Depending on the situation and type of job, yes.
@8WC7DLDNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Depends on the type of job they have. If they work with directly with people, then yes.
@9C7ZMY7Conservative2yrs2Y
I think if a certain vaccine is mandatory then all sickness vaccines should be mandatory not just one
@9BK2RQ62yrs2Y
It really depends on the business, but I would say that it's up to provinces and territories to implement restrictions, as well as the federal government, and we should also allow private businesses to make their own decisions within reason as well.
@9B5GBLJNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Only in cases such as healthcare workers
@9927D692yrs2Y
No, businesses should use vaccination at their own discretion
Yes, but I don't think they can do that without a court challenge. So I would say that it should be a partnership with provinces, where there are vaccine mandates on air, sea and land borders upon entry/leaving Canada.
