Dozens of health care organizations and societies have released a statement arguing that COVID vaccines are 'the primary way to put the pandemic behind us.'
by WebMD and Medscape Medical News of the Department of Health and Human Services from 2,500 hospitals across the U.S. published late in June, one in four hospital workers who had direct contact with patients had not received a vaccine shot by May 31.
"This is especially necessary to protect those who are vulnerable, including unvaccinated children and the immunocompromised. Indeed, this is why many health care and long-term care organizations already require vaccinations for influenza, hepatitis B, and pertussis." The groups said they hoped other employers would follow their lead and implement effective policies to encourage vaccination.
ANA president Ernest J. Grant, a registered nurse, said in a statement:"The scientific rigor to swiftly develop effective COVID-19 vaccines and the monumental efforts to ensure all Americans get vaccinated is nothing short of amazing. Vaccination is both a significant public health victory and a scientifically proven strategy to slow the spread of COVID-19 and prevent the loss of more American lives.
