British Columbia will now require all people working in long-term care and assisted living facilities to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says people living in such settings are at particular risk to COVID-19 and transmission from unvaccinated people has led to outbreaks.

Dr. Henry says the deadline for workers to get vaccinated is October 12.
