Covid Vaccine Information Session
Don’t forget! Today is the first session in which Dr. Kimi Kobayashi will answer SHARE members’ questions about COVID vaccine medical safety concerns. Find more detail about these Information Meetings here. Today’s Zoom conversation will take place from noon to 1pm. Join us using the button below.
SHARE maintains that members should not lose their jobs due to vaccination status and should be safe from COVID when they come to work. As we anticipate further guidance from the federal government regarding the national vaccine mandate, we continue to negotiate the impact of the hospital mandate on members. The hospital currently maintains that employees will only be exempted from receiving the vaccine with an approved religious or medical request, which is due this Sunday.
Covid Vaccine Exemption Form Deadline
Here’s what UMass Memorial Hospital has to say: “Caregivers must submit all requests for religious or medical exemptions from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine by Sunday, October 10, 2021. Access the medical exemption request form and the religious exemption request form on the Hub. Caregivers who are not exempted must have received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose by Monday, :November 1, 2021.
