The proclamation requires all state employees and most health and long-term care providers to be fully vaccinated with a recommended COVID-19 vaccine by October 18, 2021 as a condition of employment. Employers will need to verify vaccination status of all employees.
Who does the Proclamation apply to? All Cabinet Agency worksites and employees and Health Care employees in private sector health care and in long term care settings including but not limited to nursing homes, adult family homes, assisted living, enhanced services facilities, RTFs, and other treatment facilities. This includes most contractors, volunteers and other positions that have any onsite presence in a workplace setting. The proclamation does not cover separately elected officials, boards and commissions or K-12 and higher education institutions, but those organizations are encouraged to adopt a similar approach.
In our family case, this equals to being laid off without any opportunity to be rehired place else, unless uprooting and moving out of state to hypothetically non mandating one. What is rather challenging at 66 and 63. And if we could retire, have my word, we wouldn't be working. So spare me that, please.

This is so illogical. People simultaneously complain about hospitals being overwhelmed and recognizing that many are short staffed while at the same time cheering on the firing of healthcare workers who refuse to comply with mandates. The vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission either so it’s just a punitive measure rather then having anything to do with health. I hope there is pushback.
I’m sorry your family is being impacted by this short sightedness. I hope you get a lot of support. Mandates are wrong.
