Unvaccinated individuals will be subject to regular COVID-19 testing, as well as additional masking, potential reassignment to non-patient care settings, and other safety protocols.

Credit PeaceHealth    Dr. Doug Koekkoek is Peacehealth Chief Physician.

We had 20 new admissions overnight. This is a public health emergency that requires immediate action.”  Koekkoek added that the majority of their COVID patients are unvaccinated.  He said about 80% of their employees across the hospital system have been vaccinated against Covid-19. They will allow medical exemptions. Oregon law prohibits vaccination as a condition of employment for health workers. But Oregon Health and Sciences University and Kaiser Permanente have also announced COVID-19 vaccine requirements. And the U.S. Veteran’s Administration has also enacted a similar rule.
