More than 99% of Novant Health team members chose compliance, company President and CEO Carl Armato said in a statement.
"I am thrilled that the vast majority of team members gave Novant Health's patients and visitors, as well as our team members, better protection against COVID-19 by complying with our vaccination mandate," said Amato.
