View Comments
Indiana University Health, one of the state s largest employers, will require all of its employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Sept. 1, the healthcare system announced Tuesday.
Their announcement follows Indiana University s announcement 10 days ago that all students, staff and faculty must be fully vaccinated by the middle of August or seek a waiver. Vaccinating team members is a safe and effective way to protect patients and help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in facilities and in the community, IU Health officials said in an emailed statement. Requiring vaccinations for healthcare employees is not new or unprecedented.

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing is finally back. It s been two whole years so in case you need a refresher, here s everything you need to know to enjoy your Speedway experience.
Indy 500 has a limited capacity
If it feels quieter at the track, remember you re walking around with thousands of fewer fans than usual. The 40% capacity this year, determined by Penske Entertainment Corp. and Marion County public health officials, means the Indianapolis Motor Speedway can host up to 135,000 fans. Not a small number by any means, but it s far fewer than the race day s usual yearly attendance of about 300,000 people.
The measures suggested by IU Health are “toothless” and “woefully insufficient,” reads the letter from the Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis, Baptist Minister’s Alliance and the National Action Network of Indiana.
Adding that the list included “few tangible steps” to remedy racism, the letter asks why no one has been held accountable for the way health care providers treated Dr. Moore when she sought care for a COVID-19 infection at IU Health North late last year. Moore was released from the Carmel hospital within a few days and 12 hours later readmitted to a different hospital. She died three weeks later.
