Guam Regional Medical City will require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19
The Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) will require employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19, making GRMC the first healthcare entity on Guam to publicly do so.
“We follow the science and the evidence that clearly tells us that from a safety and efficacy standpoint, COVID-19 vaccines are by far the best way to stop the spread of the virus and bring an end to this pandemic. As healthcare professionals, we hold ourselves to a higher standard and given our ethical obligation to our patients, we must take every appropriate measure to keep our hospital and clinics as safe as possible” says Michael Cruz, MD, MBA, President and CEO of GRMC and the Chief Medical Advisor to Governor Lou Leon Guerrero for Guam’s COVID-19 Pandemic response.
GRMC will require COVID-19 vaccinations for employees at the manager level and above by July 1, 2021, and current and new employees beginning August 1, 2021.
GRMC will provide exceptions for medical conditions, religious beliefs, and pregnancy.
