Montreal health-care workers reminded of 'last chance' to get vaccines before Oct. 15 deadline

A memo titled 'last chance to get your vaccine before October 15!' was issued to workers at the West Island Integrated University Health and Social Services Centres (CIUSSS) on Monday.

A memo issued Monday and obtained by CTV News urges workers at the West Island Integrated University Health and Social Services Centres (CIUSSS) to get vaccinated, using the subject line “last chance to get your vaccine before October 15!” Last week, Minister of Health Christian Dubé announced that all health-care workers must receive their two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine by Oct. 15 or face suspension without pay. The memo came from the Strategic Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination and was sent to all managers and department heads. The regional health authority for the West Island announced 10 sites where workers can get their jabs with or without an appointment between Sept. 14 and Sept. 24.
