Yukon's premier has announced a vaccine mandate for government employees, including front-line workers in the health-care system and teachers, but the territory has not yet determined any consequences for those who refuse to comply.

Sandy Silver said Wednesday the employees must get their first vaccine dose by Nov. 30 and be fully vaccinated by Jan. 30.

Ted Hupe, head of the Yukon Teachers' Association, said he met with government officials about a vaccine mandate on Oct. 19 and again on Monday and asked about consequences for the unvaccinated but didn't get any information. An estimated 90 per cent of teachers are vaccinated in Yukon, he said, adding many of those who are not may be prepared to walk off the job.A proof-of-vaccination card based on British Columbia's model is also in the works for those aged 12 and up to access non-essential services. Silver said the territory is finalizing a list of where the card must be presented.

Smart decision.
