The Houston Methodist hospital system in Texas will soon require its 26,000 employees get the COVID-19 vaccine, in what a spokeswoman said appears to be the first such move by a large U.S. hospital system.
The development was shared in an email chief executive officer Marc Boom sent to managers on Wednesday. It gave them until mid-April to get “at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or get an approved exemption.” No deadline for all employees was given in the email.
