70,000 NY health care workers had refused the vaccine. I wonder what percentage of NY healthcare workers that represents. Seems like a lot of people...
Among nursing home staff 92% were vaccinated, up from 71%. In adult care facilities, the vaccination rate rose from 77% to 89%, and in hospitals, 92% of staff had received their first shot, the state reported.
A spokesperson from New York-Presbyterian, a top medical center in New York (one provider), told Insider that 99% of its 48,000 employees are vaccinated.
The jump in vaccinations in the days before the deadline gave New York one of the highest rates of vaccination among health care workers nationally.
