WORCESTER (CBS) – About 200 UMass Memorial Health employees are out of a job because they missed the health care system’s COVID vaccination deadline.

UMass Memorial announced the mandate over the summer with a deadline to get vaccinated or receive an exemption by November 1.
Employees were let go on December 1 if they did not get the vaccine.

The hospital said it hoped everyone would get their shots, but the priority is protecting patients and other caregivers.

UMass Memorial has about 15,000 employees.

1. 1.3% Mandates work.

3. 98.7%!

Great point. These mandates are working.

It's time we controlled the narrative better. At my workplace, we have a mandate and those protesting control the narrative, they paint it like no one wants the mandate and the company isn't listening to us. When we are already over 80% vaccinated and most are in favor of the mandates at my company.

This is a small and shrinking minority fighting this, i's time we acknowledge that in every story about it.

2. 98+% vaxx rate.

Just imagine where we'd be if all large employers were in that range.

And small and medium employers, for that matter.

4. The mandates have been great at filtering out employees

That probably shouldn’t be trusted in their particular career choices.
