Health Services Briefing - CF Vaccination Program
...The guide uses the most current evidence-based research available and consults with experts in the field of immunizations. Our program
incorporates the Health Canada recommendations, which are exactly the same as those used for all Canadians.
Our program is based on the current "Canada Immunization Guide" and statements published by Health Canada's National Advisory Committee on
Immunization.
When can CF members be ordered to accept vaccinations?
There are two scenarios where CF members can be ordered to accept vaccinations:
•when the disease is frequently life-threatening or has serious long-term consequences, or
•when the mission would be jeopardized if personnel were not immunized.
Ultimately, it is the chain of command that decides whether a vaccine will be mandatory or not.

which are exactly the same as those used for all Canadians. hmm lets see.
Immunization in Canada
Unlike some countries, immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution.

So the Canadian Military doesn't follow the Canadian Constitution? Immunization Canada states its not mandatory to take a Vaccination, but it clearly
states on the DND site it can be made Mandatory. Last time I knew we were still in this Country called Canada.
Is their a way for me to fight this if mandatory vaccination every happens in the CF?
