Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered all health care workers across New York to be vaccinated for COVID-19 by September 27th.
At the University of Rochester Medical Center, a spokeswoman says they’re awaiting followup instructions from the New York State Department of Health and the impact the requirement may have on their employees.
The Health Department says 75 percent of New York hospital workers are vaccinated, 74 percent of adult care workers and 68 percent of nursing home workers.
