While some public health experts have said new vaccine mandates may not show its impact for several months, hospitals are already facing staffing shortage as workers are refusing to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>In New York, hospital and nursing home employees are required to get vaccinated in the coming weeks or face the possibility of losing their jobs. President and CEO of Thompson Health, Michael Stapleton, said the vaccine mandate could lead to even more of an increase in job openings as there are workers who still haven\u2019t received the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to lose people over this mandate. That breaks my heart,\u201d said Stapleton. \u201cThese are great people who have cared for our community over and over again. They\u2019ve dedicated their careers to taking care of people and now they\u2019re not going to potentially be able to. That\u2019s horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2524155\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2524155\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2524155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/HEALTHH.jpg\" alt=\"A nurse from Brigham and Women&#039;s Hospital watches as demonstrators gather outside the Massachusetts State House in Boston to protest Covid-19 vaccination and mask mandates.

(Photo by JOSEPH PREZIOSO\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile in Texas, Brownfield Texas Regional Center said they could close down if they lose too many workers over forced vaccinations. In addition, CEO of Seminole Hospital District, Larry Gray, said that while vaccinations are encouraged for his staff, he doesn\u2019t believe mandating the vaccine is appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the mandate is just a terrible message because if the vaccinations are working, why do you have to mandate people to get the vaccines? What happens to individual choice and medical decisions between the patient and their doctor, which is all of the things we\u2019re trying to support,\u201d conveyed Gray.<\/p>\n<p>A growing number of health care workers have also begun questioning how vaccine mandates can be enforced. Kasie Barrett, a Duke Health employee, said she\u2019s curious as to how anyone could have the authority to mandate anything on another individual. Barrett went on to say she had a right to choose.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, while many are hopeful vaccine mandates will be helpful, others believe the mandates will backfire and people will continue to resist.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gov-desantis-vows-to-fight-antibody-treatment-limit\/\">Gov.
