On Wednesday, Dubé said on Twitter that vaccination rates among health-care workers have risen 20 per cent since April 10 the day his government issued a decree requiring they get vaccinated or be forced to get tested at least three times a week. Those who refuse can be reassigned or suspended without pay.
Dubé said Tuesday the decree would apply to all private long-term care homes. I m not satisfied yet, he told reporters, because I would be more satisfied when we approach 80, 85 per cent and we are currently at roughly 67 per cent.
The vaccination campaign has led to steep declines in the number and severity of outbreaks in long-term care centres, where about 88 per cent of residents are vaccinated with at least one dose, according to the government. But the province s immunization committee has said it s worried unvaccinated health-care workers will bring the disease back into long-term care homes.
