Glad you asked Rachel, I was about to send a message to the listserve on the same topic.

 

Last year, we made the new annual COVID immunization optional and discontinued all prior mandates (original and boosters).

 

We are in discussions on whether to mandate this year or leave it as optional – which is what I was going to query this group about to get a sense of what others are doing.

Hi Everyone,

 

Does your organization still require that new team members are have proof that they were vaccinated with the COVID vaccine (either the primary series plus one booster, the bivalent COVID vaccine or the 2023-2024 COVID vaccine)?
