Ontario hospitals are upholding their mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies for employees as staff shortages mount to a “crisis” with more emergency departments temporarily closing over the weekend.

In each response, hospitals said that dropping their vaccination policies was not currently under consideration. In a statement, Dale went on to acknowledge that this group only accounts for a “very small number” of providers who choose to remain unvaccinated. Dr. Jeff Powis, medical director of infection prevention and control at Michael Garron Hospital , acknowledged the current staffing “pressures” hospitals are facing across the province. However, he said MGH has no plans to change its stance on mandatory vaccination.
