Children’s Mercy to Mandate the COVID-19 Vaccine for All Employees
Children’s Mercy will require all employees, including clinical and non-clinical staff, contract and remote workers, students, non-employed residents, fellows, interns and volunteers, to have received both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, by Dec. 15, or obtain a medical or religious accommodation that has been approved by Children's Mercy.
COVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly changing and raises many questions. The Children’s Mercy Infectious Diseases team has created a COVID-19 online resource, including answers to frequently asked questions from community physicians and providers. We are regularly updating this page with key information as we receive it.
In addition to information on our website, Children’s Mercy has 24/7 support available to patients and families who have questions about COVID-19 (or another illness/injury) through the Nurse Advice Line.
