Governor Pritzker Rocks! My Coworker All Decided to Get Vaxxed to Keep Their Jobs!

I am an RN who works with 3 other RNs and other professionals. I was the only one vaxxed.

I have been freaking out for the past week because Governor Pritzker issued the mandate that ALL healthcare professionals and those working for healthcare companies need to be vaxxed by 9/5.

I was sure at least one of my coworkers would quit and work in another state. If all three quit it would of course destroy our program.

I am really hoping this is happening all over Illinois with the health care professionals and teachers k-university.

I am soooo happy!!!

Woo Hooo!!!

It really was the only way to force some people.
Not vaxxed, and wearing it as a badge of honor? Don't forget to wear that badge at the unemployment office.
These mandates are completely necessary.

This is wonderful news! I can't wait to see what the vaccination stats will look like in this state in a couple of months.

at the beginning of covid
illinois was in lockdown and cuomo would tell us what day it was
he was the voice of comfort (to me) and telling us the day was helpful

then pritzker began to do his daily briefings
i watched them every day - took notes!
and he became the voice of comfort to me

i really should send him (pritzker) a thank you note for all the positives he has done to get us through this
