Saratoga Hospital requiring COVID vaccine for all employees

Saratoga Hospital says all of its employees must get the COVID vaccine by September 7, or be tested weekly.

Any employee who does not follow the new requirement will be placed on leave.

The hospital says the new policy will be reviewed regularly and updated to reflect any changing conditions, new knowledge and the latest CDC guidance.

Saratoga Hospital joins Albany Medical Center, St. Peter’s and Glens Falls Hospital in requiring staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
