1. Thank you Avera!

2. How many boosters will their employees have to get over the next couple of years ?

   1. that will be interesting. For Pertussis, Diptheria and Tetanus we take 6 shots by age 12, Polio is 4 by age 6, Hepatitis B takes 3 within the first year, HPV takes 3 etc. And influenza is every year.

      It’s kind of strange that people who understand that other vaccines require multiple boosters are surprised by the idea that the covid vaccine might be similar, and think that means there is something wrong.

3. Time for Odenbach and Hansen to bring their bill back.

   1. They better hurry before monument health does the same thing and RCs vaccination rate climbs to 40%.

   2. nope, it’s time for them to let business do business

4. Best of luck to all those East River Healthcare Heroes who can “get another job” if they don’t like it.

   (You’d think the frontline workers would have enough exposure to the “Covid crisis” over the last 18 months to make an informed decision on their own – which begs the question why you’d even need to mandate the jabs. If docs and nurses don’t want the needle’s venom perhaps you BigPharma lovers should start asking why).

   1. They can still go work somewhere else.

      1. Where?

         1. The Sioux Falls area has numerous physician owned practices, ranging from Neurological Clinics to Dermatological ones. Are you even from this area?

5. Exemptions will be considered for those with medical or religious reasons.

   1. Nobody can demonstrate a legitimate medical reason, and there are no legitimate religious reasons besides being a witch. If you publicly declare you are a witch, fine. No covid bug juice for you witches for religious reasons.

      1. Natural immunity is a legitimate medical reason.

   2. Both Catholic Dioceses in SD provide religious exemptions.

6. Over 1500 health care facilities in the US care enough about their patients to require their staff to be as healthy as possible by being COVID vaccinated. Congratulations to Sanford and Avera for working to protect all. Monument Health in RC should be the next health care facility in the state to do the same. We patients deserve it!
