Rhode Island Allowing COVID Positive Health Care Workers to Work Amid Shortages

Now this makes a lot of sense. Let’s fire our unvaccinated workers and let the sick ones go to work. Something is seriously wrong they way some blue state governors are handing the “pandemic’.

Rhode Island required health care workers to be vaccinated by October 1, 2021. If you failed to comply you lost your job.

Gee, who would have thought that firing so many unvaccinated health care workers would lead to staffing shortages?

A month later, the Rhode Island Department of Health allowed some unvaccinated workers to remain at state-run Eleanor Slater Hospital and other facilities until contracted vaccinated workers could replace them.
