The Hochul administration says the Governor's COVID vaccination mandate for health care workers has led to higher vaccination rates for hospital and nursing home staff.
The mandate stated all health care workers must have received at least one shot of the vaccine by 9/27/2021
The state health department says 92 percent of nursing home workers have had at least one shot, up from 82 percent a week ago.
The vaccination rate for hospital staff also is 92 percent.
The report does not say how many workers have left their jobs instead of getting the shot.
