'If we can pause the service and now focus on recruiting nurses who are vaccinated, we will be able to reengage in delivering babies here in Lewis County,' said an official.
A hospital in upstate New York said it will have to stop delivering babies temporarily after six employees in its maternity unit resigned instead of getting vaccinated for COVID-19.
Cayer said that following the announcement, 30 hospital workers got vaccinated, while 30 resigned. He noted that while six employees in the maternity unit had resigned over the vaccine mandate, an additional seven are undecided about it.
