On Wednesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that there would be no vaccine mandate for health workers in the province.

Almost simultaneously, Quebec Health and Social Services Minister Christian Dubé said that his once tough-sounding “no jab, no pay” edict, already delayed, was now being revoked.

Well looks like the unvaccinated healthcare workers who choose not to be vaccinated in BC can move to Ontario and Quebec then if those 2 provinces will not be doing madated vaccines for healthcare workers, BC has already shown they plan to be tough, they started with care homes, and went through with the firings, so I have no doubt in 10 days, they will also fire any general healthcare worker who isn't vaccinated.

This is the problem we have in Canada, too many mixed messages. How can a public health service be any different in BC than it is in Ontario? It should be one mandate across the board or no mandate. As you point out we could see some look to moving east but why would that unvaccinated nurse who was prevented from working in healthcare in Kelowna be perfectly able to practice in Toronto for example? If it's for "safety of the patients" then clearly there's a mixed message there. If it's because they cannot afford to lose nurses well neither can we!
Added to this BC backtracked on mandating vaccines for school staff and now school boards are choosing not to mandate it themselves. Interesting that the UK has also backtracked from mandating NHS workers to get the shot but that could happen early next year, time will tell.

I wonder if Northern BC will copy this idea? :lol:

Would need to legalize brothels first.

This is not something I would have ever thought I would see to encourage people to get vaccinated.

Looks like when faced with being fired, some of the healthcare workers chose to get the vaccine afterall, down to only 2% unvaccinated, they have 5 more days to get their first dose, will be interesting to see the total % who flatout refuse.

Interesting that in the UK the government have now said they will mandate vaccines for all NHS staff but April is the deadline and it has to be passed through parliament. Meanwhile there as been some kickback about the care workers who are already mandated and have passed the deadline. This is for England only as Scotland and Wales have not made any decision on mandates as yet so care workers there are still able to work unvaccinated. I think most of us are hoping that by April this will all be starting to settle down and getting back to some normality so it seems an odd timeframe to be working towards.
