Canada's hospital network threatens to sack employees unvaccinated at end of October

Several Canadian companies have mandated in recent weeks that employees must be fully vaccinated by the fall in an effort to fight the Delta variant.

Toronto: A healthcare network that operates several hospitals in Toronto, Canada declared that it would sack any staff members who are not fully vaccinated by the end of October. The University Health Network (UHN), which includes the Toronto General hospital and the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, said employees who are not vaccinated by Oct. 8 will be placed on unpaid leave for two weeks. They will then be terminated if their vaccination status does not change by the end of the month.
