DETROIT - One of Michigan's largest health care systems says approximately 400 of its workers have quit rather than get a required COVID-19 vaccine.
Henry Ford Health System confirmed Tuesday that about 1% of its workforce left their job at the hospital over its mandate to get a coronavirus vaccine.
It was Michigan's first hospital system to mandate the shots this year.Another 1,900 - or about 6% of the workforce - were granted religious or medical exemptions from the vaccine.
President Joe Biden ordered vaccine mandates for almost every hospital in the country or weekly coronavirus tests for employees that choose not to get the shot.
