The Canadian government will begin requiring all commercial air travelers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
This move goes significantly farther than what the Biden administration has required in the U.S.
Though President Joe Biden stated in July that he would require all federal workers to be vaccinated, he also left an option for unvaccinated workers to get regularly tested if they refuse to get the vaccine.
Additionally, air travelers are not required to be vaccinated in the United States. United Airlines is one of the few airlines requiring shots for its employees.
