Health officials in British Columbia are going ahead with requiring all regulated health professionals to disclose their vaccination status to their respective regulatory colleges, though the province has recently abolished a rule that would require them to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to stay on their jobs.
Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry said earlier in April that she wants to give comfort to patients when they choose which medical professionals to see in the community, reported The Globe and Mail.
In a statement, the Office of the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) said it “is taking steps to support people in B.C. to make informed decisions about their own care with respect to whether or not to see an unvaccinated health provider in private practice in the community.”
