New York State Department of Health issued new guidance on April 15 that requires nursing homes to offer “an opportunity to receive” the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) jab to all consenting residents and staff by April 29, and within two weeks of a new hire or a new admission.
Those turning down the offer will need to sign paperwork acknowledging that they are begging off. Facilities that don’t comply with the new rules may be penalized by as much as $2,000 per violation.
The new guideline has been viewed by critics as the state health department’s way of putting more pressure on the facilities to bridge the gap between vaccinated and unvaccinated staff as nearly half of New York’s nursing home workers haven’t gotten the COVID-19 vaccine.
