All Spokane hospitals will require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19
All hospital employees and many health care workers in Spokane County will be required to get vaccinated against COVID-19, after Providence announced on Friday that all of its employees will be required to get their shots.
Earlier this week, the Washington State Hospital Association endorsed requiring vaccines for all hospital employees, and MultiCare hospitals announced they would heed that recommendation. Now, Providence hospitals have followed suit.
Kaiser Permanente also announced earlier this week that all employees will be required to get vaccinated .
The vaccine requirement will apply to all Providence employees in clinics and hospitals, and those who do not get vaccinated will be required to sign a form, submit to enhanced COVID-19 testing and get vaccine education.
