GAINESVILLE -- UF Health announced in a memo that COVID-19 vaccines will be mandatory for employees by the end of 2021. An email was sent to staff Wednesday morning.
The policy announcement applies to all faculty and staff of UF Health’s hospitals, physician practices and health colleges at the University of Florida.
The announcement appears to defy an executive order issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis in April, blocking any business or government entity from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccinations in Florida.
