Hospital To Stop Delivering Babies After Employees Quit Rather Than Get COVID Vaccine

“We are unable to safely staff the service ... The number of resignations leaves us no choice but to pause delivering babies," said the hospital CEO.
A hospital in northern New York will stop delivering babies later this month because too many maternity workers resigned rather than get a mandated COVID-19 vaccine. Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer announced at a news conference Friday that the maternity department would shut down Sept. 25 until enough new vaccinated employees can be hired to safely reopen. Seven of 30 employees who resigned from the hospital rather than get a COVID vaccine worked in the maternity department, according to Cayer. Twenty-one of them worked in clinical positions, including nurses, therapists and technicians.More Related News
