PHO repeals order requiring health profession regulatory colleges to record vaccination status of registrants


Jul 19, 2023

​The Provincial Health Officer (PHO) on July 14, 2023, announced that she is repealing her previous order that required health profession regulatory colleges to record the vaccination status of their registrants. This change is effective immediately.

Please note the PHO can still request that health profession regulatory colleges provide her with vaccination status information collected up to July 14, 2023.

This repeal does not affect the requirements of health-care employers and post-secondary institutions to collect the vaccination status information of their employees and students.

Separate public health orders remain in place requiring COVID-19 vaccination for health professionals working in residential care, acute care and community care settings. You can review all the PHO orders here​.​
