LINCOLN- Bryan Health announced this week that it had only 10 employees leave over a COVID-19 vaccination mandate that became effective November 5th.

The Lincoln-based health system said that of its 5,552 employees, five resigned rather than get vaccinated, and five were terminated for not complying with the mandate.

Nearly 300 people, or roughly 5% of Bryan's staff, were granted an approved exemption and will be subject to weekly COVID-19 testing.

Of the rest of the employees, all but 54 met the October 29th deadline to be fully vaccinated, the health system said. Those employees have had one dose and are in the process of getting their second dose.

Bryan also said that more than 97% of 901 credentialed physicians and advanced practice providers, including physician assistants and nurse practitioners, are fully vaccinated, and the 25 who are not vaccinated will be subject to weekly testing requirements.
