Since the beginning of the pandemic, Correctional Service Canada (CSC) has implemented rigorous infection prevention and control measures at its sites. Vaccines provide an additional measure to limit the spread of the virus and is key to further protect everyone.
This chart outlines vaccines administrated to federal inmates for the week ending on November 6, 2022. CSC updates this chart every two weeks. CSC has offered the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to offenders.
