(205,161 posts)27. That's also happening at the local hospital here in New York, employees have to the end of the month
I have 2 friends who work there, one in the ER with psych patients and the other in the office - and they were both vaccinated last January, had to drive an hour downstate to a major hospital to get the Pfizer since the vaccine was not yet available locally - and anyone willing to do that was given a $100 bonus for their trouble.
But I know an older gentleman (mid 80s) who I see at local meetings. He said he wasn't getting vaccinated since his daughter who is a nurse wasn't getting it and he gets her medical advice from her! He said she'd sooner quit her job - well now she'll have no choice.
