B.C. EXPANDS HEALTH-CARE VACCINE MANDATE TO INCLUDE DENTISTS, CHIROPRACTORS AND

© Ben Nelms/CBC Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has given workers in
the rest of the regulated health-care professions until Mar. 24 to get
vaccinated.
B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has announced that the
province's vaccine mandate for health-care workers will now include dentists,
chiropractors and other health practitioners regulated by B.C.'s health-care
colleges.
Henry made the announcement at a news conference on Wednesday. The vaccination
deadline under the new order is Mar. 24 for all health-care practitioners who
were not covered by an initial order on Oct. 26.
The Oct. 26 mandate covered all workers in acute care and long-term care
settings, with Henry, at the time, announcing she was working with the
province's 19 regulatory colleges on the new order.
"It is the vaccine mandate in health care that has made a huge difference in our
ability to manage through this wave," she said Wednesday. "This is going to be a
serious respiratory illness that's going to be with us at least for another
year."
The new vaccine mandate is set to be rolled out in a phased manner, Henry said,
and there will also be opportunities for those under the mandate to provide
medical exemptions.
The order states that regulated health professionals with one dose before
Mar. 24 may continue to work as long as they receive a second dose 28-35 days
after their first dose.
The news conference comes a day after the B.C. NDP delivered its throne speech,
in which the provincial government said keeping British Columbians safe and
healthy as the COVID-19 pandemic persists remains its top priority.
The speech highlighted B.C. as having one of the highest vaccination rates in
North America.
Restrictions on gatherings are set to expire on Feb. 16., and Health Minister
Adrian Dix says the province is currently on track to see those eased or lifted.

B.C.'s vaccine rollout continues to accelerate, with Health Minister Adrian Dix
saying some residents ages 12-17 were now eligible to book their third shot. Dix
said over 11 million vaccination doses have now been administered in B.C.
The health minister also said over 25 million rapid tests would be heading to
B.C. at the end of February and that the province would be working on a larger
distribution approach for them.
B.C. has been criticized for not rolling out rapid tests to the public fast
enough, with Dix saying more details would be coming on the rollout next week.
As some vaccination appointments go unbooked, Henry clarified the recommended
time to get vaccinated after getting infected.
It comes after the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI)
recommended that any vaccinated Canadian who gets infected should wait for three
months before getting their booster dose.
Henry said she agrees with those recommendations, but also says people at higher
risk of infection or who live in communal settings should prioritize getting
vaccinated as soon as they are not infectious anymore.
"If you are otherwise healthy, you can wait up to three months after that
infection [to get vaccinated]," she said.
CHANGES FOR NIGHTCLUBS AND BARS
Health officials did not announce that other public health restrictions,
including B.C.'s vaccine card, would come to an end. On Jan. 25, officials said
B.C.'s vaccine card would remain in place until June 30.
This is despite other provinces removing their public health orders,
and amid widespread protests against public health measures.
"There is no rights without responsibilities," said Dix. "If people want to
assert their rights and dramatically and negatively affect other people's basic
rights, well, that's not a Canadian value."
Changes are also coming for bars and nightclubs, which are still officially
mandated to be closed under public health guidelines.
However, as some of them pivoted to serving food to stay open, a new order on
Wednesday clarified what liquor-serving establishments must do to continue to
stay open.
It states that businesses should offer full-meal services, including menus, with
the help of catering partners and provide details to enforcement officers on
request.
Henry also announced that the province would no longer be reporting daily active
cases as testing changes mean those metrics are no longer accurately being
tracked.
