The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) says all health-care workers in the province should be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said this week he doesn't support the idea of mandatory vaccination for health-care workers, or implementing vaccine passports. "This is why we call for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination." The provincial government recently introduced stricter COVID-19 vaccination rules for workers in long-term care homes, but the policy stops short of requiring that workers take the shot. Although the document frequently refers to "mandatory vaccination," the policy it ultimately recommends would not actually require any workers to be immunized against COVID-19.
