Contrary to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Hadassah requires a vaccinated staff to continue corona tests
At the medical center, employees will also be required to be tested many weeks after being vaccinated twice, despite the very high rate of vaccination among staff and even though vaccinated are currently exempt from isolation.
The decision surprised the workers: "The demand is comprehensive and came without explanation. There is a feeling that something is being hidden from us."
Hadassah declined to comment

At Hadassah Ein Kerem and Hadassah Mount Scopus hospitals in Jerusalem, it was decided to repeat periodic coronary examinations for medical staff - many weeks after completing the vaccination process, and even not coming into contact with verified patients.
This is an unusual decision: according to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health today, vaccinated people are exempt from isolation and even from tests after contact with a verified patient.
Hadassah's position indicates concern about the spread of the virus in the hospital despite the high vaccination rate among its staff - 98%.
N., a nurse in the women's ward at Hadassah Ein Kerem, told Walla!
Because the management's renewed demand surprised the staff.
"The new requirement came without explanation and even though I was not in contact with a verified patient. It makes us feel like the vaccines are ineffective," she said.
"We sought to understand the new requirement," N. explained, "but our questions come back without a matter-of-fact answer. Especially because it does not concern employees who came in contact with a verified patient - but a comprehensive requirement."
