Abstract

We assessed COVID-19 vaccination and employment status among employees of a long-term care network that announced an employee vaccination mandate on July 29, 2021. The day before the announcement, 1,208 employees were unvaccinated; of these workers, 56.2 percent subsequently were vaccinated, whereas 20.9 percent (3.7 percent of active employees) were terminated because of noncompliance with the mandate.
