Vaccine compliance high among health care workers here
Providence reports 92%; Swedish 98%; EvergreenHealth in Monroe over 95%.EVERETT — Less than two weeks before the state vaccination deadline for medical workers, local hospitals report high levels of compliance.
By Oct. 18, Washington health care workers have to be fully immunized against COVID-19 or get a religious or medical exemption.
The rule comes as hospitals in Snohomish County and elsewhere battle burnout and low morale. In the past year and a half, health care workers have been on the front lines of a pandemic that has killed more than 700 county residents.
The battle against the pandemic has been “exhausting and disheartening for our staff,” Taya Briley, executive vice president of the Washington State Hospital Association, said at a media briefing this week.
