LATEST: New York health officials announce the state will delay enforcement of its booster requirement for health care workers in an effort to avoid potential staffing issues.

New York health officials announced the state will delay enforcement of its booster requirement for health care workers in an effort to avoid potential staffing issues."While we are making progress with 75% of staff received or are willing to receive their booster, the reality is that not enough healthcare workers will be boosted by next week's requirement in order to avoid substantial staffing issues in our already overstressed healthcare system," State Health Commissioner Dr.

In three months, the state will reassess whether additional steps will be needed to increase booster uptake among healthcare workers, officials said. The original vaccination requirement for healthcare workers remains in effect. "The vaccine and booster are critical tools to keep both healthcare workers and their patients safe, and we continue to urge everyone to get vaccinated and receive a booster dose when eligible," Bassett said.

The state said it will work closely with hospitals to increase booster rates among healthcare workers.

England has came through it superbly. Maybe the best country in the world right now.

Wait, hold up, this isn't the doomsday news pandemic addicts want to hear

US journalists: I’m going to this out as clearly as I can. A US based company (Novavax) was awarded 1.8 billion dollars through Warp Speed. Results stellar, and thus, their protein based (non mRNA) vaccine has been approved in 170 countries yet not US. This is called a S-T-O-R-Y

Let it go. Nobody cares anymore

If we'd been counting them correctly the whole time we would have been below 2000 long ago.

Just in time for gates new variant to get in. Wake uuuup

Damn anti mask people are F’ing everything up.

Imagine STILL wearing a germ diaper on your face at this stage in the game

Problem: the 'unvaccinated' health care workers are spreading COVID to our most vulnerable.

This will upset white liberals in most cases.

What justification is there now for a vaccine mandate? Genuinely curious.

Mandate! …Until it’s no longer convenient 🤣

Omicron pretty much exposed the fraudulence of the vax in relation to breakthrough cases. Come back to me when you have your shit working properly.

Delay? They are really pushing it. People are eventually going to flip out

Ivermectin doesn't prevent severe disease from COVID-19, new study findsThe antiparasitic drug ivermectin doesn't prevent severe disease from COVID-19 any more effectively than symptom management and close observation by medical professionals, according to a study published Friday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. I have become so cynical, that do not believe anyone anymore There's evidence ivermectin may have antiviral properties. May have antiviral properties ≠ effective treatment for covid. KSL doesn't care either way. To them & their owners ivermectin = division, outrage, & scorn for the other side = the only reason it's 'newsworthy'. Why are you posting fake news? How can a liberal organization push propaganda in Utah like you do?
