The COVID-19 pandemic

While the provincial government is not going to force people to get vaccinated, it's nice to see that they are planning to put in some serious incentives to do it. They are contemplating restricting access to hospitals, LTC homes, schools and/or travel to people who have been vaccinated. It's not a finished plan yet, but I'm happy to see that incentives will be in place to get vaccinated.

Indeed, this is exactly the types of policies I like to see.

I recognize the rights of people to have autonomy over themselves. Government mandated vaccines would be an extreme measure (albeit one that could be warranted in certain circumstances).  But tying a vaccine requirement to partaking in social and societal services and activities makes perfect sense. I.e., you're allowed to be an anti-social individual, but you aren't allowed to benefit from social activies or societal services if you do. Society is pay to play.
