Mandatory Vaccine Policy Agreement: North West Region Hospitals
by Communications & Engagement
As a group of leaders across Northwestern Ontario, we take our responsibilities to ensure the safety and protection of our health care workers, patients and their families most seriously. In addition, we believe it is our collective responsibility to provide the highest standard of care while preserving and maintaining access to critical health services across our communities.
As such, given our commitment to quality and our duty to protect those that are most vulnerable, we are proud to support a region-wide move to mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies across all hospital and health care sites at our respective organizations. This change aligns the hospital/health care sites with long-term care homes where staff COVID-19 vaccinations are provincially mandated.
All hospitals in Northwestern Ontario have now implemented mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies, beginning with the primary series of the vaccines.
