Premier Stefanson says no to mandatory vaccinations for care home staff

On Thursday, Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Health Policy Research at the NIA, told Markusa that Manitoba won't get ahead of the outbreaks in long-term care facilities without mandatory vaccinations for workers.

"Frankly, if you're not actually putting that layer of protection in, then it's as if you've just basically left the drawbridge down in front of your castle. You're just inviting people to come in, in this case the virus, and lead to outbreaks and unfortunately, death," said Sinha, who is conducting research across the continent with the National Institute on Aging.
