New York's new vaccine mandate, which goes into effect Monday, makes it necessary for workers in New York's hospitals and nursing homes to have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Employees working at in home care, hospice, and adult care facilities need to be vaccinated by October 7. The mandate also applies to all out-of-state and contract medical staff who practice in New York.














Comment: While they're doing their best to screw over medical staff who have the audacity to refuse vaccinations, it is patently obvious that they're only screwing themselves. When you're struggling with a nurse shortage, you don't fire one quarter of your nurses! New York is going to be a really bad place to get sick or injured come October.
