At the microphone of Always in the morning, Marie-Josée Hamelin indicated that she has not received any request or comment from members who would oppose this type of measure.
The president also affirms that she does not know of anyone in her union who has not received at least one dose of vaccine.
% [du personnel paratechnique] of the province of Quebec [a reçu deux doses de vaccin] , I tell myself that it must be higher for the CIUSSS-MCQ because, I tell you, it does not complain that much “,” text “:” When someone tells me 75% [du personnel paratechnique] of the province of Quebec [a reçu deux doses de vaccin] , I tell myself that it must be higher for the CIUSSS-MCQ because, I tell you, it does not complain that much “}}”>When I am told 75% [du personnel paratechnique] of the province of Quebec [a reçu deux doses de vaccin] , I tell myself that it must be higher for the CIUSSS-MCQ because, I tell you, it does not complain that much
, specifies Marie-Josée Hamelin who considers that its members are doing well.
For the moment, network workers must present proof of vaccination to their employer by virtue of a ministerial order. Those who refuse to be vaccinated must undergo recurrent preventive screening three times a week.
According to data from the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ) dated August 4, paratechnic workers are the health professionals with the lowest vaccination rate.
73.6% of them are adequately vaccinated. This figure climbs to 80.4% if we look at the rate for all workers in the health care network.
Asked whether her union intended to vote in favor of compulsory vaccination, as did the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) and the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), Marie-Josée Hamelin said she wanted to ask legal advice to his federation.
As I do not only represent beneficiary attendants, but also health and social services auxiliaries who walk through the houses, who go to the RPAs, it is necessary to check whether they are on board in this lot. I also have the employees in housekeeping, the kitchen
, specifies the president of the union who wonders how far the government could go in imposing such a measure.
The government of Quebec confirmed Thursday that it is not ruling out the option of requiring vaccination for health workers as France, Italy and Greece have done.
