Cleveland Clinic mandates COVID-19 vaccinations for US employees

Editor's Note

Cleveland Clinic, on November 12, announced that it is requiring all US employees and those who provide services with Cleveland Clinic to receive the COVID-19 vaccine by January 4, 2022.

In accordance with federal mandates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, employees who are not fully vaccinated by January 4 and who do not have a religious or medical exemption will no longer be able to work for Cleveland Clinic.

In anticipation of the rule, Cleveland Clinic has enacted a COVID-19 Vaccine Validation Program to collect the vaccination status of all employees throughout its US locations.
