City ER doc says vaccine mandate from AHS overdue
MEDICINE HAT. AB – All Alberta Health Services employees and contracted health care providers are now required to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 31.
The decision was announced yesterday by AHS as a way to protect vulnerable and immunocompromised Albertans, and frontline health-care workers.
The move is something emergency room physician Dr. Paul Parks has been advocating a long time for.
Parks, who works at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital, says he is strongly in favour of the decision and believes it was long overdue.
