Abstract

This paper examines the Quebec government’s decision to make vaccination compulsory for workers in residential and long-term care centres in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the arguments in favour of this measure, such as protecting vulnerable residents and preserving health services, while also examining concerns about a possible labour shortage and individual rights.
