A new survey indicates that most firms are now planning on having COVID-19 vaccine mandates for their workforce.

The number of companies requiring workers to get the shot is expected to surge over the next several months, according to data released by Wednesday by Willis Towers Watson, a multinational advisory and insurance firm.Over half of the employers surveyed said that by the fourth quarter of 2021, they could have one or more vaccine mandate requirements in the workplace.

The survey was conducted between Aug. 18 and 25 -- in the wake of the insidious spread of the more contagious delta variant -- and respondents included nearly 1,000 U.S. employers that together employ nearly 10 million workers.An empty workstation inside an office building in San Francisco, on June 9, 2021.

"The delta variant has made employers take new actions to keep their workers -- and workplaces -- safe and healthy. We expect even more employers to institute vaccine mandates in the wake of FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine," Dr. Jeff Levin-Scherz, the population health leader at Willis Towers Watson, said in a statement.

"This is not an easy situation for employers to navigate," Levin-Scherz added."For instance, new policies such as tracking workers’ vaccinations can improve safety but also bring additional administrative requirements. At the same time, employers will continue efforts to encourage vaccination and communicate regularly with employees."The U.S.

"COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective," the CDC states on its website."Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history."

Tide has turned in real life - no one cares anymore - except ABC/NBC who monetize fear.

No kidding!

Good. FoxNews “Mandatory for our employees, but definitely not for our base”

Appropriately so. The sooner the better.

Good

What about pregnant, soon to be pregnant and nursing mothers?

Pain الا تظن ان الجزيرةتشكلاخطرا وجودياعلى اسرائيل اكثرمما تشكله جميع الجيوش العربيةورغم ذلك الا ان اسرائيل لم تطالب قطرابدا بايقاف البث.لماذا.وماهو الثمن الذي دفعته قطروالجزيرةو والطاقم الاعلامي لكي ترضى عنهم اسرائيل وهي القناةالوحيدةفي العالم التي تسرح وتمرح في فلسطين بلارقابة

Yesssss!!!!

My Hospital is full, ICU patients in the Hallways on ventilators. And the conspiracy theories are in full effect. Morgues are over capacity, refrigeration trucks are being used to store the dead until the mortuaries can catch up. But it's still a hoax 👍🏼

52% of surveyed said they would require a vaccination. This is propaganda meant to make you think you're an outlier if you aren't vaccinated. It's gross.

Actually, a great idea would be to prioritise centre link support for fully vaccinated people 👽👽

👍 YES ! 👍

Good. Looks like the free markets will force vaccination.

Good!! Bout time

Great

Hundreds of thousands of employees are about to be removed from the workforce. What the hell kind of super bubble are these people living in? What do think might happen? Whatever you think, it will be 100x worse. Be prepared.

Nice!

Good!

Nice.

What are they waiting for? It’s FDA approved now

Segregation making a comeback

Seems like a obvious thing? They got rid of smoking sections in ?everywhere? for obvious reason. Get rid of the covid sections as well. Covid is the new smoking? Do it at home on your own time. GetVaccinated

And those companies are going to have a hard time finding employees to work there. Hospitals that have already mandated it are already experiencing staff shortages. Fuckmandates

PrincessBibiRF_ When are you going to figure out that the 'delta variant' is simply the vaccines showing up on the faulty PCR tests being run at 35+ amplifications...

So I guess we can't say 'Land of the free' anymore...

horrible

Afghan_Situation has shown World that Western Powers have corrupted Afghan People morally and Physically, adulterating social cultures and systems based on Islamic Faith to Satanism. Return of Taliban which saved people is a great sign that World Salvation lies in religion only.

QuemMandouMatarBolsonaro
