email article The University of Pennsylvania Health System and RWJBarnabas Health have joined Houston Methodist in mandating employees get vaccinated against COVID-19, spokespeople for the two health systems confirmed Thursday. Penn Medicine in Philadelphia is dictating all clinical and other employees get fully inoculated by September 1. RWJBarnabas in New Jersey is requiring supervisors and executives to be fully vaccinated by June 30; the system has not issued a mandate for all employees, but "it is anticipated that it will eventually be required," its spokesperson wrote in an email to MedPage Today. Both systems are allowing employees to apply for medical or religious exemptions.
