An Ontario lawyer says he will be giving out COVID-19 vaccine exemption letters starting in the new year to applicants applying for jobs that still require COVID vaccination as a condition of employment.

“Starting January 6th, 2023, if you are attempting to apply for a job that requires Covid 19 vaccination as a condition of employment in Ontario, I will be offering a ‘legal exemption’ letter, setting out the basis for why it is not unreasonable to hold off on getting vaccinated,” wrote Lion Law Professional Corporation founder Daniel Freiheit in a Twitter post on Dec. 23.
