Hospitals around the nation earlier this year began imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, but employees were told they'd meet the requirements if they received the single-shot Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine.

That’s changed at a New Jersey hospital, where employees now must get a booster if they received the single-shot jab.
