Date set for healthcare vaccine requirements

An order is being finalized that requires all regulated health professionals to be vaccinated by March 24, including dentists, physiotherapists and psychologists.

Notice was given in October, but no date was set until now.

Regulated health professionals with one dose will be allowed to continue working after the deadline as long as they receive their second dose 28-35 days after their first one.
