COVID-19 in Quebec: What you need to know this weekend
CBC
Note: Quebec's Health Ministry does not publish the number of vaccine doses administered over the weekend.
Health Minister Christian Dubé has a message for medical professionals who think they can skip a COVID-19 vaccine and keep working.
He's asking professional associations to suspend their licenses if they aren't immunized.
Dubé wants the orders that license health-care professionals, such as nurses and respiratory therapists, to follow the lead of the college of physicians and suspend the permits of anyone who isn't fully vaccinated.
"People who think they will go practise elsewhere [outside the public system] will be in for a surprise," Dubé said on Friday.
As of October 15, all front-line health care workers in Quebec must be fully vaccinated or they will be suspended without pay.
Canada's leading physician says the fourth wave of COVID-19 appears to be backing off.
