RWJBarnabas Health, one of New Jersey’s largest health care systems, that
recently fired
six supervisory-level employees who refused COVID-19
vaccinations, says it will now require vaccinations for all staff members by
early fall.
RWJBarnabas Health said Monday it is
extending its COVID-19 vaccine mandate to all staff, including all employees,
new employees and medical staff.
The deadline for full vaccination and
completion of the second dose is Oct. 15.
The company had mandated in May its
supervisory workers get vaccinated by June 30.
