Employer sentiments shifting on vaccine mandates

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Delta variant of Covid-19 is driving an increase in the percentage of employers implementing or considering a Covid-19 vaccine mandate.

That’s according to a new survey from Atlanta-based law firm Fisher Phillips LLP. The survey, conducted Aug. 4-6, was the firm’s third survey focusing on vaccine mandates and illustrates how rapidly employer sentiments are shifting on the sensitive topic.

The August survey found 15% of employers are mandating or considering a vaccine mandate. That’s up from 4% in May, and it dovetails with what employment attorneys have been telling The Business Journals in recent weeks.

Kevin Troutman, a member of Fisher Phillips' Covid-19 task force and its vaccine working group, said it’s noteworthy that two-thirds of respondents are still opposed to mandates — although the percentage of employers falling into that camp fell to 68% in August from 83% in May.

1. They really need to authorize the vaccines under regular usage now so this can be mandated.

In FL, soon as it's regular, it would be mandated for hospital employees, but attorneys won't push for this under the emergency auth. - maybe because of Death Sentence?
