As of October 15, all Quebec health and social service workers must be fully vaccinated or risk being suspended without pay.

Health Minister Christian Dubé confirmed this new rule at a press conference on Tuesday. The announcement comes in the wake of an increase in COVID-19 cases.

The measure applies to both public and private sector employees.

Dubé highlighted that it's essential for health care and social service workers especially because the health network is "already under a lot of pressure — particularly in the Montreal region."

"We cannot, therefore, accept that workers put vulnerable people at risk," he said. "The health care network must be safe."
