COVID-19: BC bringing in vaccine mandate for all remaining health-care workers | FULL
More than three months after promising to require all health-care workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the province is finally implementing the policy. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced on Wednesday family doctors, dentists, chiropractors, physiotherapists and pharmacists will be required to be vaccinated by March 24, 2022. Henry said there is a process in place for medical exemptions, which can be submitted to her office. “We have been working with the colleges to sort through the details on the notice we put forward in October. It is about creating a standard,” Henry said. Health-care workers in acute care and in long-term care are already required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. There is fewer than 3,000 workers province-wide who refused to get vaccinated and were fired due to that decision.
