Over 50 major health care organizations call for mandating vaccines in their own industry

Over 50 other health care organizations called for mandatory vaccinations in their industry, citing rising COVID cases and their trust in the vaccine.

The American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association have joined up with over 50 other health care organizations to call for mandatory vaccinations in their industry, citing rising COVID cases and their trust in the vaccine. "Due to the recent COVID-19 surge and the availability of safe and effective vaccines, our health care organizations and societies advocate that all health care and long-term care employers require their workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine," the organizations wrote in a joint statement on Monday morning. Between them, these health care organizations represent millions of physicians, nurses and other health care workers across the country, including pediatricians, oncologists and pharmacists. And they don't think the health care industry should be the only one to require vaccines. They also called on other industries to follow suit.
