ALBANY â Following in New York Cityâs footsteps, New York state is making vaccinations or regular COVID-19 testing mandatory for all state employees.
Additionally, all patient-facing front-line health care workers in state-run hospitals must be immunized, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.
âI think we need dramatic action to get control of this situation,â the governor said during a virtual address delivered to members of the Association for a Better New York. âSo in New York, and in our state hospitals, all patient-facing health care workers must get vaccinated. There will be no testing option for patient-facing health care workers.
âThat is a point of contact that could be a serious spreading event, and we want to make sure those health care workers are vaccinated â period,â he added.
