A hospital in Syracuse, New York, has suspended 122 health care workers who hadn’t received a COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 27, the deadline imposed by the state to do so.

St. Joseph’s Health told local media that workers who don’t receive the vaccine by Oct. 8 face termination. Suspended workers received their letters informing them that they won’t receive pay, hospital spokeswoman Kelly Quinn said.
