ST. PAUL Allina Health, a major health care network and employer in Minnesota and western Wisconsin, announced Tuesday, Aug. 3, that it will require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by October.
It is the latest health care provider in the region to announce a policy requiring employee vaccinations, with Sanford Health and Mayo Clinic, among others, having previously implemented similar measures.
Nearly two-thirds of Allina employees have already received their COVID-19 shots, according to a news release, a vaccination rate the network seeks to improve as more transmissible variants of the coronavirus spread.
