COVID-19 vaccination requirement – Pioneer Ridge
As per Ministry directive, the Corporation is mandated to ensure that all new employees within our Pioneer Ridge Division are fully vaccinated before they begin working. The only exception to this directive is a medical exemption.
Proof of vaccination
Staff, support workers, students and volunteers must provide proof of COVID-19 vaccine administration that satisfies one of the following:
- the full series of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or any combination of such vaccines, or
- one or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada, followed by one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or
- three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada.
For people who were vaccinated in Ontario, the physical/hard copy receipt and/or email receipt, provided by the Ministry of Health at the time of vaccination is acceptable proof of vaccination. Individuals who misplace their receipt can obtain a replacement copy by logging into the provincial vaccine portal. People who received some or all of their vaccine doses out of province can contact their local public health unit about obtaining proper documentation, per MOH’s COVID-19 Guidance for Individuals Vaccinated outside of Ontario/Canada.
