AHS to require all staff to be vaccinated by Oct. 31
Alberta Health Services says all employees and contracted health-care providers including physicians and other frontline healthcare workers will need to be fully immunized against COVID-19 by Oct. 31.
Dr. Verna Yiu, president and CEO of Alberta Health Services, says the measure is required to protect vulnerable and immunocompromised Albertans and anyone who visits health-cares sites.
As well, said Yiu, it’s necessary to help protect vital frontline health-care workers and maintain a safe environment for patients and clients.
