Could that potentially fall under the OSHA rule for workplaces with over 100 employees? I wouldn't think that many individual schools would qualify under that criteria, unless you considered that it applies to an entire school district.
I mean, I hope it does.
POSTERS have already posted follow up articles post office employees will be covered under OSHA rules
So you are saying all postal workers with have to get the shot?
Yes, but they don’t have to mandate vaccines like other Federal employees or hospitals that receive Medicare payments.
The policy only says that employees of facilities that accept Medicare and Medicaid (ie, nearly every hospital and most private medical practices) must be vaccinated.
But don't they have to like any other employer over 100?
I don’t think so. I think they are mostly considered state or local government workers. Maybe private schools that are run by a corporation. I think for public schools it will be up to the states.
No. They test unvaccinated employees weekly. That’s an option.
The OSHA rule is not a vaccine mandate for all workers, it’s a requirement to test workers weekly with the option to get out of weekly testing if you are fully vaccinated. The USPS is covered under that order. For Federal employees and contractors there is a vaccine mandate. You must be vaccinated or you lose your job.
Lot of motorcycle accidents
Uhhh. You sure about that. In one day? Doesn’t sound right.
That we even know about!
We went back to school beginning of August. Shots weren't even available until 3 weeks ago.Children should already have received this year's flu shot before going back to school.
Adults should get theirs Sept/Oct, IOW, now.
There are egg-free options for those allergic.
Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine.
Vaccination to prevent influenza is particularly important for people who are at high risk of serious complications from influenza.www.cdc.gov
Oh wow, I am so sorry. That would've been us as well without vaccination. Like I said earlier, it's families like yours that I really feel for right now.The fun continues. My child was finally able to return back to school on Tuesday after quarantine due to close contact with covid (no virtual option, and no mask mandates).
Do you want to guess what happened? Do you? Guess?
She was sent back home today for another quarantine due to close contact with Covid yesterday.
There are very few legit reasons though and there are always exceptions offered as far as I can see. One of my loved ones with cancer had to hold off on the vaccine due to treatments but as soon as they could, they got vaccinated. Those who have a verified legit excuses can be exempt. Those like the afore mentioned loved one's child who refuses because "botox is a contradiction" though should be ignored.
Ahh. Well, that’s good news. I think.
It says they can be vaccinated, not that it needs to be done before school starts.
