Hospitals in New York state suspended or fired scores of workers Tuesday after they refused to comply with the state’s new mandate for health care employees to be vaccinated for coronavirus, officials said Tuesday.
St. Barnabas Hospital in The Bronx reported that 98 workers, mostly in its housekeeping and nursing divisions, failed to show proof of getting a COVID-19 shot.
But that number had dropped from 140 employees earlier on Monday, an indication that the workers now realize the edict to get vaccinated — or get fired — is real and many are complying at the last minute to keep their jobs.
The nearly 100 employees are suspended without pay and have until next week to show proof or face termination, a St. Barnabas spokesman said.
St. Barnabas has about 3,000 employees.
“We can manage,” said hospital rep Steve Clark.
At Richmond University Hospital in Staten Island, a sizable ten percent of employees were still unvaccinated as of Tuesday, a spokesman said.
