BRIDGEPORT Fifteen out of 750 staffers at Jewish Senior Services resigned last week after refusing to get vaccinated for the coronavirus.
And while that number represents just about 2 percent of his staff, Andrew Banoff, JSS’s president, said it was still difficult to see them go.
“I still think it’s the right decision and feel strongly it was the right thing to do, but it’s hard,” Banoff said in an interview Wednesday.
