The federal government has paid nearly $580,000 to a total of at least 30 federal government employees in settlements relating to their decision not to take the COVID-19 vaccine when it was mandated by the government.

The figures come in response to an Inquiry of Ministry filed by Conservative MP Ted Falk, who asked the various government ministries how much they had paid out to federal employees, including payments to lawyers and mediators.
