Nearly 46K Employees Are Holding Out on the VA's COVID-19 Vaccine Order, Agency Says
Roughly 12% of the Department of Veterans Affairs' 380,000 hospital workers have not received their COVID-19 vaccine or told the department they plan to get immunized, according to VA officials.
VA Secretary Denis McDonough issued two separate vaccine mandates. The first, on July 26, requires medical personnel at VA hospitals and clinics, such as doctors and registered nurses, to get vaccinated by next week. The second, released Aug. 13, requires staff members, volunteers and any other worker who interacts with veterans to be inoculated by Oct. 8.
