    I checked and it turns out there is clear legal precedent - we CAN compel our staff to get vaccinated. I do NOT want to pull that trigger.

    That was a "no" vote. But all are already vaccinated on each's own volition.

    We will encourage employees to get the vaccine, but we cannot legally require them to get vaccinated.

    Medical care should remain personal choice. Mandating vaccination and/or requiring proof of vaccination is dystopian.

    Everyone on our staff supports being vaccinated and having family members vaccinated-- especially with the vaccine having been proven safe after so many millions of shots. We have found that most staff only wish to return to an office where everyone is vaccinated, so anyone who is not will continue to work remotely. Our biggest concern is whether these vaccines like the flu shot will need to be annual, and how we will ensure staff safety.
