Health care worker vaccine mandate now a booster mandate, Governor Kathy Hochul says workers must get boosters within two weeks of eligibility

The New York health care worker vaccine mandate is now a booster mandate.


Governor Kathy Hochul said Friday health care workers must get a booster within two weeks of becoming eligible. “Staff is getting sick. They’re leaving. We need them to get well,” the Governor said at a Friday news conference.

The only exemptions to the booster mandate will be for medical reasons. California and New Mexico are the other states to institute booster mandates.
