Health-care staff in Ontario will be required to provide proof of immunization against COVID-19 or a medical reason for not being vaccinated

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Ontario plans to introduce a set of policies requiring employers in education and several health-care settings to develop strict COVID-19 vaccination policies for their staff.

The source says Dr. Kieran Moore’s directive covering hospitals, ambulance services and community and home-care service providers won’t make vaccination mandatory, but those who decline the shots will be regularly tested for the virus.The policy will be similar to one that is already in place in the province’s long-term care homes.

People who don’t take the shots will need to complete an education session about COVID-19 vaccination and will be routinely tested for the virus before coming to work.The source says the Ministry of Education also intends to introduce a similar COVID-19 vaccination policy for employees at all publicly funded school boards and licensed child care settings.

Do they have to pay for their testing? Why was this key fact not addressed?

Ok so let me get this straight. Our Conservatives answer to vaccine hesitation is to waste a tonne of money on testing ? How very fiscally responsible of them.

Hope so

How about testing all for antibodies before jabbing healthy people? If you don’t got any, vaccinated. Many vaxxed don’t have protection or it has waned!

Well Last night approximate numbers covid in ON : new cases:525, non-vax:353 part-vax:62 vaccinated:110, Fatalities: 0 -ZERO . We are finally reaching coveted herd immunity..has anyone noticed this math ?

They should have done this months ago so teachers were fully vaxxed before school starts!

Excellent

Ontario premier to meet with cabinet to discuss mandatory vaccinations for health-care, education workers: sourcesPremier Doug Ford will meet with his cabinet tonight to discuss the possibility of making it mandatory for health-care and education workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, sources tell CTV News Toronto. Needs to be more than a discussion. Let’s get it done already. fordnation’s poll numbers must be dropping. So, as per usual, whatever he was adamant about NOT doing, he is being *reactive* in walking it back. You can’t buy votes with reactionary actions, Dufus. Why are so many people concerned about forcing others to do what they want
