Getting the workplace vaccinated will be a difficult task. It is more than likely that some employees will remain highly skeptical about getting vaccinated. We cannot forget that there is a group of people who proudly call themselves anti-vaxxers. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has caused allergic reactions for a few patients in the U.K. Skepticism must be at an all-time high. We must also remember that these are mass vaccination programs. Hence cases, where a few people do have negative reactions to the vaccine, will be warranted. These trials will help improve the general efficiency of the vaccine.
What can you do as a responsible employer

Terms of employment

Plenty of employers are trying to do so and several polls have been held proving the same.

Seventy-two percent of all CEO and COO of major companies like Walmart and Wish or eBay have signaled towards openness for and towards these mandates. Encourage employees and let them know about the benefits of getting vaccinated at the earliest.
