so they want to fire 10%-20% of hospital workers who have a years experience working in a pandemic in the midst of an upcoming "4th wave".
source on the 10%-20% - https://www.cmaj.ca/content/193/32/E1259
Most will take the jab when they are confronted with losing their income.
perhaps or perhaps the outcome will be similar to https://fee.org/articles/massive-nurse-shortage-hits-houston-weeks-after-150-unvaccinated-nurses-and-hospital-workers-fired/
The 150 are just a blip. The Houston Methodist Hospital network has over 25,000 employees. 150 denied the vaccine. Less than 1%.
They would have required additional nurses either way, even if these weren't fired.
the hospital in the article itself has 7420 employees not the network/affiliates and each hospital in the area is requesting/short 100-250 nurses. so yes they'd require nurses either way but losing 150 nurses/employees would definitely contribute more than your <1%
It's not the provinces doing these mandates. The Toronto hospital network is implementing this mandate. You have similar stories from the US.

There are hundreds of hospital networks in the US requiring workers to get the vaccine. Same as in Canada.
