COVID-19 shot ‘could save your life,’ RCMP boss says after federal vaccination order

OTTAWA — RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki is encouraging vaccination against COVID-19 a day after the Liberal government announced Mounties must be immunized.

In a tweet today, Lucki urges getting vaccinated without delay, saying it could save lives.

Lucki also thanks Dr. Peter Clifford, the RCMP’s chief medical adviser, for his message of encouragement to employees on the force.

In the message, Clifford tells members that getting the COVID-19 vaccine is critical to keeping safe from severe and possibly fatal illness.
