Houston Methodist workers must get a COVID-19 shot by June 7 or risk losing their jobs, making it the first U.S. hospital system to make vaccination mandatory.
Healthy Day reports that on Friday, CEO Marc Bloom emailed employees about the mandated vaccine, writing: Mandating the vaccine was not a decision we made lightly, but science has proven that the COVID-19 vaccines are very safe and very effective. Like I say to everyone who asks whether they are reporters, the public, patients, or our employees, it is our sacred obligation to do everything possible to keep our patients safe. By choosing to be vaccinated, you are leaders showing our colleagues in health care what must be done to protect our patients, ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Houston Methodist Hospital CEO Marc Bloom is making it clear to doctors and other staff – get vaccinated against COVID-19 or find employment elsewhere. Bloom’s reasoning is that the medical professions should lead by example. He also says that getting vaccinated falls under their professional oath to do everything possible to keep patients safe and healthy.
The hospital employs about 26,000 workers, with 84% already vaccinated. The hospital is close to herd immunity, according to Boom. Managers were required to be vaccinated by April 15 and all other employees by June 7. Those who refuse the vaccination will be suspended or fired. Four out of five employees have complied with the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine requirement. That leaves 4,100 employees who have not received at least their first dose.
