‘No Jab, No Job’ policy removal on agenda: A-G

The removal of the ‘No Jab, No Job’ policy is on Govern­ment’s agenda.

Attorney-General (A-G) and Min­ister for Justice Siromi Turaga made this assurance yesterday.

The removal of the ‘No Jab, No Job’ policy was one of the high­lights of the campaign by The Peo­ple’s Alliance party leading up to the 2022 General Election.

In July, 2021, former Prime Min­ister Voreqe Bainimarama had an­nounced the policy whereby civil servants would be dismissed from their work if they refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

Mr Turaga yesterday said any changes in this law would be sub­ject to a Cabinet decision.

“This is probably in the next Cabi­net decision or the subsequent one. It has to be moved by the Ministry of Labour in consultation with the Ministry of Health,” he said.
