COVID-19: Quebec drops vaccination mandate for health-care workers
Quebec is dropping its enforced COVID-19 vaccination mandate among health-care workers, government officials announced Wednesday.
After pushing back its deadline multiple times, Health Minister Christian Dubé said the province will abandon the measure altogether, as the health-care network can’t afford to lose the thousands of non-vaccinated workers.
Well this certainly makes a joke of it all.
Ontario won’t mandate COVID-19 vaccines for hospital workers, despite advice from science table
Premier Doug Ford says that his government will not make vaccination mandatory for hospital workers amid concerns about staffing shortages in the sector.
Ford made the announcement in a statement issued on Wednesday afternoon, effectively going against the advice of a number of experts, including members of the province’s own science table who had pushed for the mandate as an “evidence-based policy that protects Ontarians.”
