Gov. Ned Lamont is considering a vaccine mandate for state workers, but his office doesn’t have any information on how many employees have already rolled up their sleeves.
There simply isn’t a count among the roughly 50,000 state employees, nor even a reliable estimate.
Max Reiss, communications director for the governor, said Tuesday the administration is not tracking vaccination rates among state employees, but has received anecdotal information from department heads, commissioners, and others.
As the threat of highly contagious delta variant grows in Connecticut, Lamont said this week he is looking into a statewide vaccine policy, which could include requiring workers who don’t get inoculated to wear a mask on the job or submit to regular testing.
