The United Counties of Prescott-Russell council (UCPR) gave unanimous consent during its January 26 session to approve a new policy for mandatory vaccination of all paramedics assigned to Prescott-Russell Emergency Services ambulances. The new policy reverses the original policy in 2021 that required paramedics to undergo regular mandatory rapid antigen testing (RAT) two or three times a week and make regular use of personal protective equipment like face shields, masks, and gloves.
