St. Joe’s remains committed to our Mandatory Vaccination Policy

Last Updated March 14, 2022 at 10:10 a.m.

The Ontario government also announced that the requirement for provincially mandated vaccination policies in long-term care will be lifted and that Directive 6 for hospitals will be revoked March 14.

St. Joe’s has an obligation to remain committed to our Mandatory Vaccination Policy and our rationale remains unchanged.

Vaccination remains critically important to our healthcare response and is supported by the Ministry of Health. While recent evidence indicates the vaccine’s effectiveness to protect against transmission wanes over time when it comes to the Omicron variant, the evidence clearly shows that vaccination reduces the likelihood of serious illness, hospitalization and death due to COVID. Healthcare workers are at an increased risk of COVID-19 infection due to their ongoing interactions and potential exposures to patients that are or may be infected with COVID-19. Hospitals already require HCWs to be vaccinated against many infectious diseases. St. Joe’s responsibility is to help protect our healthcare workers in this environment, where they are caring for vulnerable populations.
