Health employers drop punitive measures of employee flu vaccine policy
After years of controversy surrounding the province’s “vaccinate or mask” policy for health care workers during the flu season, the provincial policy has been amended to remove the disciplinary portion of the policy, where health care workers were at risk of being fired if they did not get a flu shot.
The Provincial Health Officer, Bonnie Henry, said the new policy will be in place effective today, Wednesday, December 4.
