Officials with Rochester Regional Health say they aren’t sure why some employees aren’t getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Strong Memorial Hospital has a vaccination rate 30% higher than Rochester General Hospital. Why? It’s a question Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn’t even know the answer to.
Dr. Robert Mayo, CMO Rochester Regional Health tells News10NBC that he can’t put his finger on it either. “You know I can’t say I know exactly why that is. And we have been scratching our heads over that as well,” he said. “We want the public to know that our workforce is very committed to being part of the solution.”
