Houston Methodist is sidelining almost 200 workers for two weeks without pay for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The suspensions come a day after dozens protested the policy outside one of its medical centers in Baytown, Texas.
The hospital system — a medical center and six community hospitals — had set a Monday deadline for all employees to be fully immunized against the coronavirus, with nearly 25,000 employees getting their shots in time, Dr. Marc Boom, Houston Methodist CEO told employees in a Tuesday memo emailed to CBS MoneyWatch. The hospital has suspended 178 workers for not fully complying with the policy, including 27 who had received one dose of vaccine, "So I am hopeful they will get their second doses soon," Boom stated.Not many people get to be on the House floor during a congressional meeting, so when one little boy got the opportunity, he made sure it was memorable.
