Hamilton, Niagara, Haldimand, Brant and Burlington hospital chiefs release joint statement

The group says they're working together to ensure a consistent approach across the region. 

At a minimum, staff, physicians, contractors, volunteers and students will need to either show proof of vaccination or a medical reason for not getting the shots, or participate in an education session about the benefits of getting vaccinated against COVID-19. 

These individuals will be required to report their vaccination status by September 1st. 

Employees who aren't fully immunized will also need to undergo regular COVID-19 screening. 

The group also says new hires may be required to be double-dosed.
