- Niagara Region Public Health is recommending local employers establish a workplace vaccination policy to protect their employees and clients from COVID-19.
- With the Delta variant currently driving a fourth wave in Niagara, there have been 11 workplace outbreaks so far in September.
- A COVID-19 vaccination policy is the most effective means to increase vaccination coverage in the workplace.
- As an immediate step, Public Health recommends businesses make provisions for workers to have paid time off to get vaccinated, support transportation for workers to get to a vaccine clinic and endorse vaccinations at the senior leadership level.
