This year’s COVID vaccine will be optional for all currently onboarded team members. If there is a new team member coming onboard they would need to get the current COVID booster if they did not previously receive the primary series plus one booster or they have not previously received either the bivalent COVID vaccine.

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.
