The deadline for Bryan Health employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment ended Friday, October 29.  As of November 1st Bryan officials say 95 percent of the 5,552 employees have been fully vaccinated.

54 employees are in the process of getting the second dose. 297 employees have an approved exemption and are subject to weekly PCR testing and are required to mask at all times at all Bryan locations.

There have been five resignations and five employees have been fired for not being compliant.  There are 901 credentialed doctors and advance practice providers on the Bryan Medical Center staff and 97.2 percent of them are vaccinated.  25 providers are not vaccinated and must comply with weekly testing.

In August, Bryan Health joined seven other Nebraska healthcare systems in requiring the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition for employment.
