CoxHealth CEO Steve Edwards was asked why he believes some don’t want the vaccine. Edwards said “That hesitation almost correlates directly with your educational level in our organization. So our doctors have the least hesitation. And lesser educated people have a higher hesitation. We get that it is very complicated.” Edwards was also asked if Cox would require the COVID vaccine for employees. Edwards stated “An important decision point for us is FDA approval. And that’s information we don’t have yet. We’ve tried to follow science this whole time. And while we think the vaccine is safe, and effective, without FDA full approval, there are employees and there are people that have hesitancy. And I think that hesitancy may go away if FDA approval happens. And so we’re going to follow the science and we’re going to evaluate, and that’s going to be an important decision-maker for us.”
