NY department of health ‘exploring options’ after judge strikes down COVID vaccine mandate for health workers

Violin15/01/2023 125 Views

A New York Supreme Court judge struck down a mandate Friday that required all health care workers in the state to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, said Gov. Kathy Hochul and the New York State Department of Health had exceeded their authority.

In his ruling, Judge Gerard Neri said the mandate is “null, void, and of no effect” because the state can’t require health care workers to get vaccinations that aren’t required by public health law, which includes mumps, measles and hepatitis.

The state health department said Saturday it is “exploring its options” after the ruling.

Coding Pathways with Ozobots in PE – PHE America

Violin12/01/2023 45 Views

I love finding creative ways to incorporate STEAM into Physical Education. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. I was at my daughter’s Open House for her enrichment class in Bayport where she was showing me how her class was using Ozobots to practice coding. I was immediately intrigued by these little coding robots. I immediately noticed how the students’ faces lit up with excitement as they explained to their parents all the functions you could perform with them. Immediately I thought: what if we combine fitness activities with coding? What a great way to relate to the

Violin06/01/2023 29 Views

As many Montrealers cherish one more day of relaxation before heading back to work, already-tired health-care professionals are fearing tough times ahead in the province’s emergency rooms.

“I think after New Year’s, it’s going to be like a catastrophe,” said Melanie Gignac, a nurse who heads the Monteregie-West Nurses Union.

“People are finally able to see their loved ones during the holidays. We weren’t allowed to do that last year,” said Dr. Cristian Toarta, McGill University Health Center Associate Emergency Department Chief.
