Summary:

The US Food and Drug Administration's emergency use authorization of COVID-19 vaccines led J. R. Logan Hospital in March 2021 to be one of the first to mandate that all employees be vaccinated or else be terminated. Several hundred of its 8,000 employees immediately pushed back. Most were in nursing, custodial, kitchen, and unskilled health care positions. Many were minorities, recent immigrants or Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC). One vocal group of employees had filed for a court injunction. The vice president for human resources was responsible for implementing a plan to achieve 100% compliance. Students must consider: the ethical issues involved; concerns of vaccine hesitant and BIPOC employees; implementation options; and selecting the best course of action.
