Getting your employees vaccinated makes sense for business as well as general health and safety. Private-sector participation in helping people get vaccinated is also likely to be crucial in revitalizing the economy.
The chaotic and mismanaged vaccine rollout has left the U.S. in a situation where industry has to help as much as it can, notes Dr. Jeremy Levin, chairman of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, a nonprofit devoted to educating the public and health care industry on the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Companies need to ensure that all employees have access to not just the vaccine, but education about what the vaccine does and what the vaccines offer them and their families, he says.
