COVID RESOURCES:COVID-19 vaccine resources and case data
Yale New Haven Health set a deadline of Oct. 1 for all employees to comply. A little over 500 of the network's 30,000 employees have not gotten the COVID-19 vaccine or have successfully filed an exemption.
Yale New Haven Health officials say most of the employees who have yet to comply are in food services, environmental services, and finance departments. The company says employees who were not in compliance will get a verbal and written warning starting today and could soon face termination.
Earlier this month, executives at Yale New Haven Health announced they expected to have to terminate between 100 and 200 workers.
