More than 170 health care workers at a Houston, Texas, hospital were reportedly suspended for two weeks without pay for choosing to not get the coronavirus vaccine by the hospital’s Monday deadline, which the hospital requires of its workers.
Houston Methodist Hospital President and CEO Marc Boom said that 99% of its more than 25,000 workers had been vaccinated by the deadline. "It is unfortunate that today’s milestone of Houston Methodist becoming the safest hospital system in the country is being overshadowed by a few disgruntled employees," Boom said in a statement, according to KHOU-TV in Houston. Boom announced the suspensions in an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post on Tuesday.More Related News
