The B.C. government is ending its COVID-19 vaccination mandate for many provincial employees.
In an announcement Friday, the province announced that – beginning April 3 – BC Public Service employees will no longer be required to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
Workers in many health-care settings remain subject to orders from the provincial health officer and are still required to be vaccinated, the government noted. The announcement comes just an hour before Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry are scheduled to speak at a news conference. The pair is expected to announce plans for a "spring booster" vaccination campaign.This is a developing story. Check back for updates
