The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is planning to keep its vaccine mandate in place for positions requiring high readiness and deployments and to drop it for others, according to a draft directive obtained by The Epoch Times.
“Following a review of the current public health situation, notably the evolution of the virus and increased CAF vaccination rates, it has been decided that those positions requiring that members be vaccinated against COVID-19 will be restricted to those supporting core operational functions, or for the maintenance of operational readiness as described herein,” says the directive from the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) dated Sept. 27.
