Seven hundred Yale New Haven Health employees might lose their jobs on September 30 if they don’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.

The employees were told on June 30 that they had until the end of September to get the vaccine or leave the organization.

The health system employs almost 13,000 employees in Connecticut.

Yale is providing the employees with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
