A new Provincial Health Order requiring all health care workers to report their vaccination status took effect today.

Under the new order, professional health colleges will be required to provide the vaccination status of their employees to the Ministry.

Ministry employees will then cross reference the the data with the provincial immunization registry to verify vaccination.

Registrants for whom vaccination is not found must then provide proof of vaccination record by March 31st.

Most major medical colleges, such as dental, optical, and chiropractic colleges, are covered under the order, but you can find a full list at this link.
