A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry was justified in extending a vaccine mandate for health-care workers last fall.

Fifteen health-care workers appealed to have the public health order dismissed on constitutional and other grounds.

Among other things, they claimed COVID-19 was no longer a significant risk to public health and there was no medical evidence that unvaccinated health-care workers posed a greater risk to vulnerable patients.

Justice Simon Coval ruled that while the orders did violate Charter Guarantees of Conscience and Religion, the infringement was reasonable to protect public health.

Aaron McArthur reports.
