The provincial medical regulator is pleading with doctors to be careful about handing out COVID-19 vaccine exemptions.
So says the registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario the day after the Ford government unveiled a vaccine certificate program
As of September 22, residents will need to be fully immunized to gain access to some non-essential services, unless they have a medical reason they cannot get vaccinated.
Dr. Nancy Whitmore says the college has already heard about requests for baseless medical exemptions, and that physicians must not cave in.
