Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers
Status
NCLGA Executive Recommendation: Endorse | Endorsed by the NCLGA Membership
Whereas British Columbia is one of the last remaining provinces in Canada requiring a vaccine mandate for healthcare professionals; and
Whereas the shortage of healthcare workers in the Province of British Columbia has been exacerbated considerably by the dismissal of those healthcare workers who chose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19;
Therefore be it resolved that UBCM call upon the provincial government to lift the COVID-19 vaccination requirement and allow for unvaccinated healthcare workers to return to work to lessen the strain on the healthcare system.
