Atria Senior Living, a large operator of independent living, assisted living, and other senior living facilities, is requiring more than 10,000 US employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Atria CEO John Moore told Business Insider that requiring the vaccine is the responsible thing to do to stop the spread of the coronavirus among staff and residents.
Several other long-term care companies told Business Insider they are not mandating the coronavirus vaccine.
Employers can require staff to give COVID-19 shots without running afoul of the law, according to federal guidance, and more employers are expected to follow in Atria s footsteps.

Earlier this year, shelves stocked with disinfectants went empty as Tri-State residents prepared for the longest year of their life.
Finally, the first local coronavirus case was confirmed.
“We all knew that it was just a matter of time,” Daviess County Judge-Executive Al Mattingly said on March 19 in response to those reported cases.
