Chatham-Kent council will discuss next month making COVID vaccines mandatory for municipal staff.
North Kent councillor Joe Faas will bring in a motion to have administration implement a policy to mandate having Chatham-Kent workers fully vaccinated.
Faas noted that other municipalities and public sector employers have brought in policies mandating employees be fully vaccinated.
Faas wanted to bring the motion to the floor at last night’s council meeting, but it did not get the two thirds approval needed to bring the motion forward. Instead it will be discussed at the September 13 meeting.
