VA health care personnel latest to be required to get COVID-19 vaccine
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said Monday it is requiring COVID-19 vaccines for health care personnel who work in or visit Veterans Health Administration facilities, making the federal agency the latest to mandate vaccines for health care workers.
The news comes on the same day that more than 50 national health care organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association, issued a joint statement in support of COVID-19 vaccine mandates for all workers in health and long-term care.
Three health systems with employees in Michigan Henry Ford Health System, Trinity Health and OSF HealthCare previously announced they are mandating COVID-19 vaccines for their workers. Henry Ford Health System alone has 33,000 employees, of which just over 70% had their first dose of vaccine, officials said last week.
