Nurse Adara Allen is pregnant. Although the CDC says it's safe for her to get the vaccine, she chose not to because her pregnancy is considered high-risk.
While we know the majority of our employees have already received the COVID-19 vaccine, ensuring that all staff and providers get their shot is a critical step toward protecting the safety of our workforce, our patients, and our community, Paul Babcock, president and CEO of the hospital corporation, said in a statement. Vaccination lessens your risk of death from COVID by about 100-fold. We continue to urge everyone in our community who has not yet done so to walk in and get your COVID-19 vaccine today.
Employees, however, may still request exemptions for health or religious reasons through a process similar to the corporation s existing flu vaccination program.
