worker shortage

New York State will not enforce the mandate requiring health care workers to have gotten the booster shot against COVID-19.

In an effort to ease the continued shortage of caregivers, New York state is offering tuition for one-thousand new or current healthcare workers.

New York healthcare industry administrators and representatives said they largely appeared to avoid dire staffing shortages from the vaccine mandate.

New York State’s requirement that all healthcare workers get the COVID-19 vaccine or lose their jobs is being at least temporarily derailed in court.
