Northwell Health, the largest hospital system in New York state, fired 1,400 employees on Monday for not complying with the state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The employees represented less than 2% of Northwell's 76,000 employees, who are now all fully vaccinated against COVID-19, Joe Kemp, the assistant vice president of public relations for the company, told The Hill.

"Northwell Health is proud to announce that our workforce — the largest in New York State — is 100% vaccinated," the company said in a statement to several news outlets.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City survived a court challenge to its school vaccination mandate Tuesday, while hospitals across the state reported few disruptions to their services because of the COVID-19 vaccine requirement for health care workers.

U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil in Manhattan rejected a request to temporarily block the vaccine mandate that New York City began enforcing Monday for Department of Education employees. She said a lawsuit filed on behalf of several teachers and other school employees did not meet requirements of irreparable harm, likelihood of success or public interest.

Vyskocil said she could not "ignore the harm that could take place if the schoolchildren were exposed to the risk of COVID" if she gave temporary relief from a mandate meant to protect them.

"If the harm happens, it's a harm that cannot be undone," she said.

The facility where I currently work has sent out a text informing employees that the vaccine is mandatory. Unless one has a doctor's note or a letter from church to exempt for religious reasons. The latter irks me, naturally.

"I have a note from my religious leader, who is eminently qualified in the biological sciences to excuse me from getting vaccinated!"
