Civility...

 


New York's deadline for health care workers to be vaccinated in the state will take effect on Monday.   New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has said she may tap the National Guard and put out a call to out-of-state health care workers to fill the roles of the unvaccinated people who could be out of work if they miss Monday's vaccine deadline, Reuters said.

That could mean declaring a state of emergency to allow health care professionals licensed outside of New York, as well as recent graduates and retirees, to practice there. 
Other options include deploying medically trained National Guard members, partnering with the federal government to send Disaster Medical Assistance Teams to local health and medical systems and "exploring ways to expedite visa requests for medical professionals."
The state's labor department has also issued guidance clarifying that workers who are terminated because they refuse to be vaccinated will not be eligible for unemployment insurance, "absent a valid doctor-approved request for medical accommodation."
Creating Chaos in the medical field in the Midst of the crisis, Shortage of workers and gratitude for the burden they carried last year all through with minimal protection. That is a new governor working for you. 
 Just a thought.
