New Brunswick’s Health Minister Dorothy Shephard said on Friday that there has been an uptick in public service employees receiving their COVID-19 vaccines following the Oct. 5 announcement of a vaccine mandate for those employees. Since the announcement was made, Shephard said at the time of the initial announcement, 18.9 per cent of public service vaccines weren’t fully vaccinated, and now that number is at 13 per cent.
