After weeks of warning health-care workers they would be suspended without pay if they were not vaccinated against COVID-19 by this Friday, Quebec Health Minister Christian Dube on Wednesday granted a one-month reprieve.

Dube said 14,000 health-care workers in the public and private systems still aren't fully vaccinated, and it would be “irresponsible” to stick to the deadline because of the risk of labour shortages in an already strained system.

Quebec first announced in August that health-care workers had until Oct. 15 to get vaccinated or face suspension without pay. The new deadline is Nov. 15, Dube said. Starting Monday, all unvaccinated health-care workers in the public sector will be tested for COVID-19 at least three times a week, and the government isn't ruling out requiring regular testing in the private sector, Dube said. Unvaccinated workers, he added, would also lose their “COVID-19 premiums,” which add up to eight per cent to workers' pay.
