Vaccination against COVID-19 will be a requirement for all federal public servants as part of the approach to protect federal public servants and the community from COVID-19 and ensuring safe workplaces. Vaccination will add a layer of protection that will work with other public health measures to combat the spread of the virus.
The purpose for collection and use of this information is to fulfill the responsibility of your employer to ensure the health and safety of employees. This is a requirement under section 124, Part II of the Canada Labour Code and under the Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination for the Core Public Administration Including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police .
