Health experts also pushed for those eligible to get vaccinated to help protect themselves and those around them.
Beaumont Medical Director for Infection Prevention Dr. Joel Fishbain said an average of 0.06% of COVID patients at U.S. hospitals are vaccinated, and the rest are unvaccinated.

Beaumont Health to mandate COVID vaccines for staff, providers
Employees of Beaumont Health will soon be required to get vaccinated for COVID-19, if they haven’t already.
The health system announced Wednesday that all employees will be required to get vaccinated for the virus, or face suspension or dismissal if they refuse. The mandate will go into effect once the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) fully approves a current COVID vaccine.
