Toronto hospitals vaccinate Boards and Governors against H1N1
At least seven Toronto hospitals have given the scarce H1N1 vaccine to their Boards and Governors.
Mount Sinai, St. Michael's, Sunnybrook, Bridgepoint and the University Health Network's three hospitals are among the list.
Ontario's Chief Medical Officer addressed this yesterday saying hospital board members are not health-care workers and therefore are not entitled to the shot unless they suffer from a pre-existing medical condition.
The Chief Microbiologist at Mount Sinai has apologized for the controversy.
The Vice-President of the Ontario hospital association says the hospital deemed the board members to be health-care workers, which is one of the six priority groups.
