MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS The coronavirus vaccine will soon be a requirement for employees of one Mahoning Valley long-term care facility operator.
Continuing Healthcare Solutions announced Tuesday its employees are required to get their first COVID-19 shot by June 1.
The decision comes amid new legislative action to pre-empt the adoption of so-called COVID-19 vaccine passports in Ohio, which Ohioans could use to prove they’ve been vaccinated, if required by businesses or to travel.
“For us, this is not right or left,” said Mark Morley, Continuing Healthcare’s vice president of operations. “This is an apolitical statement. We believe this is the right thing for protecting our residents. I appreciate that it is controversial, but we think the safest thing for our residents and for our staff is for our staff to get vaccinated.”
