More than 70 employees at a hospital in Monterey, California, have decided to defy a state mandate requiring health workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Sept. 30.
Elisabeth Sims, a registered nurse at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP), told The Epoch Times the group of nurses and other medical professionals are planning to fight the state’s mandate, as well as the hospital’s policy that also sets a Sept. 30 deadline for all staff to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
