New Brunswick says its COVID-19 vaccine mandate will no longer be a condition of employment for civil servants come March 28.

The announcement on March 18, however, does not include employees working at health facilities, Ambulance New Brunswick, corrections, and those who provide health-care services to patients residing in homes, including personal residences, special care homes, and nursing homes under the provincial Extra-Mural program.
