Effective August 17, 2021, a new regulation requires all healthcare workers and healthcare providers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 1, 2021, in order to protect vulnerable populations.
The regulation provides that the only exemption from this requirement is a medical exemption evaluated by a licensed physician, physician assistant or advance practice registered nurse. Until October 1, 2021, all healthcare workers and providers who are not vaccinated are required to be tested at least twice per week via any COVID19 test authorized by the FDA.
The Department of Health also issued an FAQ providing clarifying guidance on this requirement. The regulation is effective through December 14, 2021.
