 New York says 92% of all hospital workers have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose - but 36,000 staff members now face losing their jobs due to mandate rules

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York announced 92% of hospital and nursing home staff in New York State have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Over 60,000 hospital workers received their first doses in the last month, leading up to the state's vaccine mandate, which took effect Monday 

But 36,000 hospital staff - and more nursing home staff - may be out of work soon due to the vaccination mandate  

Hochul is prepared to address a potential staff shortage by calling in the National Guard and providing other support to healthcare facilities

More than nine in ten hospital and nursing home staff in New York State are now vaccinated with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

At least 60,000 hospital workers received their first doses in the last month, leading up to the state's vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, which took effect Monday.
