CANADA – B.C. hospital workers say double standard at work as doctors not forced to get vaccinated
More than 600 unvaccinated hospital workers fighting to get their jobs back say it is unfair that Dr. Bonnie Henry isn’t requiring doctors, dentists, chiropractors and other health professionals to get vaccinated to keep their jobs, as they were, their union says.
“We’re disappointed that the vaccine requirement is not evenly applied across the health- care workforce,” Meena Brisard, secretary-business manager of the Hospital Employees’ Union, said in an email. “It feels like a double standard when high status health professionals are given a pass on the vaccine requirement that applies to 180,000 other health care workers.”
