Former prime minister Jean Chrétien is calling on Canadians to "do their duty" and get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect the health of their friends, family and neighbours. I "invite every Canadian to do their duty," Chrétien told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton today. "If you are vaccinated, it is not only for yourself but it is for the protection of the people around you, too." Chrétien, 87, said he was happy to receive his first shot last month in Ottawa and is looking forward to getting his second shot. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 49, has not had his shots yet.
