DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Following Sanford Health’s announcement last week, Essentia Health has announced they will also require all staff members to be vaccinated against COVID as a condition of their employment.
Employees must receive their first dose of vaccine by Oct. 1 and their second dose in a two-dose series by Nov. 1. There will be a process for requesting a medical exemption based on CDC guidelines or a religious exemption.
This policy will affect all of Essentia’s employees, including remote workers, along with volunteers, students, non-employed medical staff, Board members and others who provide services.
