HARNETT COUNTY, North Carolina (WTVD) As North Carolina’s COVID-19 case rate surges again, more and more local hospitals are mandating vaccinations for workers. On Wednesday, the state health department issued its own vaccine mandate. And all of it is forcing some tough conversation among healthcare workers including a Harnett County nurse who had COVID hit very close to home.
There is a share of healthcare workers, including nurses, who feel it’s unfair to be forced to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Toni Hensley is not one of them. She is a nurse and also a wife. Her husband was the first confirmed case of COVID in Harnett County. In pandemic time, it seems like a lifetime ago. But it’s only been 16 months since Hensley’s husband, Jeff, tested positive and was soon hospitalized.
