Last week, one of our reporters interviewed two Kelowna women who are unable to visit family in the hospital due to the remaining vaccine mandates. 

"I'm not vaccinated and I can't visit my unvaccinated father in the hospital. It's very frustrating. He's in there all alone. I'm his only family and he's very social and it would be nice if I could see him, for his sake and for my sake," says our first interviewee, Charissa Nordine.

"Vaccination mandates have been lifted for virtually everything else, so why is Kelowna General Hospital still requiring visitors to be vaccinated?"

Our second interviewee, Donjeta Kaquri, states: "My mom is unvaccinated and speaks little English and has a hard time understanding sometimes. I'm extremely worried and upset." 

In neighbouring Alberta and many other jurisdictions, there are no longer vaccine mandates for hospital visitors or for healthcare workers.

Do you think it's time for BC to end the remaining vaccine mandates?
