Prisma Health Will Not Mandate Vaccines for Staff For Now

Prisma Health will not require vaccines as a condition of employment at this point. This comes as a bit of a surprise given a number of other hospitals in South Carolina have gone ahead and made vaccines a requirement to work. Prisma has been front and center on the Covid-19 issue here in the Upstate. From my stand point they have been a key player on Team Covid to keep the fear high in the state so this really is surprising but good news!

On Monday this past week there was a significant Medical Freedom Rally at Prisma’s Greenville Memorial Hospital. Several hundred people showed up to peacefully protest (not the kind of peaceful protest on display across American in the summer of 2020) the prospect of Prisma requiring vaccines for employment. Perhaps our voices had an impact? We may never know.
