Sanford suspends just 82 for refusing COVID-19 vaccine; less than 1% of workforce
Sanford Health leaders in July had set Monday as the deadline for all of its 48,000 employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or be granted a medical or religious exemption to the vaccination. All those suspended have 60 days to comply with the health system's expectations or will be considered to have voluntarily resigned and be terminated from their jobs.
