A new order under the Emergency Measures Act — which came into effect Wednesday — will allow Shared Health to investigate the eligibility of health-care workers who have been vaccinated, says a news release issued by the provincial government Friday. Shared Health can disclose information to a regional health authority or department, so that agency can verify information. If the agency finds that an individual was ineligible for vaccination, it must send all information it has about the person to Shared Health, the order says. If Shared Health cannot determine whether someone jumped the queue, it can approach an employer, "other person or entity identified in a person's vaccination application" to ask questions. The person or agency must share all of its information about the individual in question, upon request by Shared Health.
