Northwell terminated more than 20 managers last week for refusing to get immunized against Covid-19.
, Northwell said it took a"rapid, aggressive approach to move successfully toward full vaccination compliance" and that retaining more than 97% of its workforce, with each employee vaccinated, would allow the provider to offer"exceptional care at all of our hospitals, without interruption and enable all our facilities to remain open and fully operational.
Northwell's vaccine policy requires both clinical and non-clinical staff to be immunized, which is a step beyond the state's mandate.Tangent: New York healthcare workers who are terminated due to their unwillingness to get vaccinated are not eligible for unemployment insurance without a doctor-approved request for medical accommodation.
