The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association have joined up with over 50 other health care organizations to call for mandatory vaccinations in their industry, citing rising COVID cases and their trust in the vaccine.

in late May, 1 in 4 health care workers were unvaccinated in the U.S. In some places, like Florida, the rates were as low as 40%.A health care worker inoculates Evelyn Pereira, right, of Brooklyn, with the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine as her daughter Soile Reyes, 12, looks on, July 22, 2021, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

"I think it's incredible to see these organizations come together and make the bold statement to mandate vaccinations, which we know are safe and effective," said Dr. Jay Bhatt, the former chief medical officer for the AHA and an ABC News contributor. "As we move towards full FDA approval of the currently available vaccines, all health care workers should get vaccinated for their own health, and to protect their colleagues, families, residents of long-term care facilities and patients. This is especially necessary to protect those who are vulnerable, including unvaccinated children and the immunocompromised," the joint statement said.

I trust the vaccine as much as I trust Biden..which is 0%.

LMy wife is an ICU nurse and was one of the first vaccinated in PA… but if she didn’t wan’t lan experimental RNA vaccine… she shouldn’t be asked to. Why? Because she and others have been touching Covid patients 16hrs a day since day 1 and earned a bit more respect than that.

I heard the complete opposite from a nurse myself so where are you getting your information? The vaccine is not a guarantee of not getting covid or variant D, after vaccination and no one is talking about this issue.

It’s about damn time!

It’s should be the persons private medical choice, at this point. Don’t forget experimental and not FDA approved.
