State officials hope COVID vaccine mandate repeal …
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — With a healthcare staffing shortage across New York, Governor Kathy Hochul continued the declaration of a statewide disaster emergency last month. Some workers had left their jobs over the COVID vaccine requirement. Some believe repealing the mandate will help with the staffing crisis. But Stephen Hanse from the New York State Health Facilities Association says it may not encourage everyone to return.
“I’m aware of some individuals who pursued some careers or other avenues where they may not leave those new jobs,” Hanse said.
