The Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance is implementing mandatory COVID-19 vaccines for staff, physicians, and midwives.
The board of directors made the decision at its meeting on August 5.
Ron Lavoie, HPHA Board Chair, said in a press release “that their primary accountability is the safety of those receiving and providing care at their four hospitals.”
Currently 88% of staff, 93% physicians and 89% of midwives have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with 83%, 92% and 81% respectively having received both doses.
On-site volunteers will also be required to be fully vaccinated.
