On September 25, Hawkul laid out the plan. It will allow her to declare a state of emergency to attract health workers from other cities and states, as well as retired nurses. Forum Daily New York previously reported on the replacement of unvaccinated paramedics foreign employees.

Also, according to Hawkul, the state is considering the possibility of recruiting National Guard officers with medical training to work in hospitals. This will enable the staffing of hospitals and other medical facilities. According to the governor's office, about 16% of the 450 hospital staff in the state, or more than 70 workers, have not been fully vaccinated.

At the same time, the conflict between state leaders and workers continues. The former are in favor of compulsory vaccination, the latter are against, including for religious reasons.

“We continue to fight COVID-19 to protect our loved ones,” Hawkul said in announcing the plan. “I express my gratitude to all the health workers who were vaccinated, and I urge all the remaining unvaccinated health workers to do so now so that they can continue to provide medical care.”

Medical workers dismissed due to refusal to vaccinate will not receive unemployment insurance.
