The New York State Department of Health starts process of repealing COVID-19 vaccine requirement for workers at regulated healthcare facilities.
In a recent development, the Biden administration has indicated that the Department of Health and Human Services will be winding down its requirement for employees of CMS certified healthcare facilities to get vaccinated against Covid-19. This move comes as the New York State Department of Health prepares to repeal its Covid-19 vaccine mandate for workers at regulated healthcare facilities.
Edelman report highlights the loss of trust in healthcare professionals.
A recent poll conducted by Edelman revealed a concerning trend: 44% of respondents between the ages of 18 to 34 believe that individuals who conduct their own research are just as knowledgeable as physicians on most health matters. This points to a significant decline in trust and respect for medical expertise, indicating that this loss of trust is not unique to the pandemic era.
