St. Joe's Healthcare Worker Vaccination Receipt
In order for us to move forward with the development of our mandatory vaccination program at St. Joe’s, we require all staff, physicians, learners and volunteers to declare their vaccination status with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) by September 1, 2021. Our mandatory vaccination program will require all staff, physicians, learners, and volunteers to be fully vaccinated or be subject to the provincial directive of education and regular testing.
All staff, physicians, learners, and volunteers must complete an attestation form and submit their vaccination receipts by September 1, 2021.
It is no longer an option to defer or decline to declare your vaccination status. Those who deferred or opted not to declare their vaccination status will be contacted directly by OHS to update their attestation response.

FAQs
Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health issued a directive mandating hospitals and home and community care service providers to have a COVID-19 vaccination program for employees, staff, contractors, students and volunteers. The Chief Medical Officer of Health was clear that this directive sets a minimum standard. The vaccination program must be effective no later than September 7, 2021, and at a minimum will require these individuals to provide proof of one of three things:
- Full vaccination against COVID-19;
- A medical reason for not being vaccinated against COVID-19; or
- Completion of a COVID-19 vaccination educational session.
Individuals who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be required to undertake regular testing.
