In this episode of Inside EMS, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson enter into a lively discussion on the topic of nurses being relieved of duty secondary to refusing a COVID-19 vaccine.

Chris takes the position that this is not a practice that organizations should be undertaking, saying, “We have asked nurses to do a job for 18 months when a shot did not exist; now that there is a shot, if you don’t take it, you lose your job.”

Kelly takes the counterpoint side: if you are working for an organization, you are bound to what that organization requires you to do.

This is a great debate, come join the discussion.
