Omicron Checklist for Employers
As Omicron surges (and hopefully peaks soon!), our friends at Health Action Alliance created this “Omicron Checklist for Employers,” which we have posted on our website.
Legal battles aside, employers in most states are still free to move forward with their own vaccine requirements. Employer-initiated vaccination requirements have been extraordinarily effective at raising vaccination rates and keeping employees healthy.
