Cleveland Clinic Places 750 on Unpaid Leave for Noncompliance of COVID-19 Vaccine

More than 99 percent of its employees have complied

The Cleveland Clinic confirmed approximately 750 of its caregivers were placed on unpaid leave of absence on Jan. 28 for failing to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. This includes those who have not begun the vaccination process or did not have an approved exemption or an exemption pending.

However, the Cleveland Clinic said 99 percent of more than its 65,000 U.S. employees complied by either receiving the vaccine or being granted an approved exemption.

"We value each of our caregivers and are proud that 99 percent of our caregivers have complied with the CMS mandate," the Cleveland Clinic stated.
