Column: Instead of vaccine mandates, companies turn to 'wellness' programs. That's a problem

, one key to improving COVID-19 vaccination rates in the U.S. is held by employers, who can and should mandate the shots for all employees .

Yet many employers are still shy about imposing vaccine requirements on their employees. And the alternative could be much worse for workers than a vaccination mandate. Instead of flatly requiring all workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, the airline provided them with an escape clause: Those who refuse the shots without a legitimate excuse will be paying an extra $200 a month in health premiums.

That’s the exception that theoretically allows Delta to charge its unvaccinated workers more. Whether the airline is compliant with the HIPAA and ACA rules can’t be determined, because Delta isn’t saying what it normally charges for health coverage.. If that’s the cost of a Delta plan, its $200 monthly surcharge would come to 32%, just beyond the permissible limit.
