New York braces for healthcare staff shortages as the deadline to get vaccinated draws near

Monday is the deadline for New York healthcare workers to get vaccinated or they will lose their job.

Many people in the Southern Tier have stated they will take the risk. Protests earlier this month drew hundreds of people, with some of them telling 12 News they would rather the vaccine be a matter of personal choice.

Hospitals around the state and New York Governor Kathy Hochul are bracing for the staffing shortage that will follow.

Hochul released her comprehensive plan to address the issue Saturday morning.

She says she will sign an executive order if necessary to declare a State of Emergency in the state to bring in healthcare professionals from other states and countries to alleviate the staffing crisis.

She says recent graduates, retired healthcare workers and medically-trained national guard members will also be called upon.

Hochul says as of September 22nd, 84% of hospital employees in the state were vaccinated. Leaving 16% without the shot and potentially without a job come Monday.

In nursing homes and adult care facilities, 23% and 19% were still unvaccinated as of Thursday respectively.

This shouldn’t be a problem. There’s plenty of nurses available. It’s not like there’s a worldwide pandemic or something.

The rule from CMS is coming down next month. Virtually all hospitals, ambulatory care surgery centers, dialysis centers, rehab facilities, clinics, etc..takes medicare/medicaid dollars. The fun is just starting.

It’s in your face infuriating.
We will be replaced with foreigners but no mandate will be placed on them.

Watch. It’s all about power/control.

I won’t be mandated.

This is America.

If one wants the injection, good and well and I sincerely hope for a good outcome, but I won’t be mandated.

Only 16% are non-jabbed. Doesn’t sound like a crisis to me unless you are fudging the 84%.

Bingo.

On a related note, despite the data being suspect, there are more than 16% of people who took the first Jim Jones Jab who won't take the second.

Guess who speaks for God now...

Gov. Hochul: 'God wants you to be vaccinated'

Note to Deep State: You surely can pick 'em.
