>Can anyone  share how they are collecting COVID-19 vaccination data on students and contract staff (EVS, Linen, Mobile medical, travel, agency, SPD)?   Most of our contractors are not screened via Team Member Health on hire so we don?t have any way of capturing their vaccine data.  Also,  our HR Peoplesoft program does not auto terminate contract staff and students  so , even if we entered in  our database, they would not be terminated when they left the facility.     Therefore, our denominator for vaccine reporting would be inaccurate.

>Would love to hear what others are  doing to collect this data on non-employees.   Thank you!

>Good afternoon.
>We have an occupational therapist with special expertise in ergonomics who does ergonomic assessments and makes recommendations for modifications.  Human resources, Safety, Occupational Health, and Facilities Management collaborate on implementation plans.  Ergonomics is less than 50% of her job.  We have about 3,000 employees.
