COVID risk at work...

I am 21 weeks and work in a large children’s hospital that is part of a larger hospital system. I work on a unit that occasionally has covid positive patients, but I’m not expected to go in those rooms. The vaccine is available to me, but my doctor has advised against me getting it at this time. I have felt generally uneasy throughout the pandemic, but feel like I’ve been able to take precautions to protect myself.

Fast forward to today, it became very clear that my hospital does not follow isolation/quarantine recommendations from the CDC when it comes to staff. A close coworker had an exposure to a patient who ended up testing positive (45+ minutes, holding the baby while the baby cried). My coworker has not been instructed to isolate or get tested in anyway but instead can keep coming to work and self-monitor for symptoms. This completely freaks me out because it feels like a significant exposure risk. I’m not worried about her specifically, she is understanding of my concerns and we will be able to move our direct communication to phone so I can avoid her. What makes me more concerned is the thought of how many people I interact with daily in the same situation without knowing it.

I no longer feel safe at all going into work and my husband feels like I should quit, however with my due date in May quickly approaching, I feel pretty stuck. In my current situation, I have enough pto/sick time/short-term disability to get some sort of pay for 15 weeks of my 18 week maternity leave. I also absolutely love the work I do. But I’m terrified that isn’t worth the risk. However, we aren’t in a place financially for me to stop working entirely. And if I start a new job now, I won’t be there long enough to qualify for FMLA, leave, pto, etc. meaning I get less time with my baby and it will be unpaid.

What do I do? Is there any way to keep my current job but not be at risk? Is there a way to force my hospital to enforce CDC guidelines? Suggestions? Validation?
