VACCINE REQUIREMENT

Under applicable legal guidance, an employer like VRP may require its employees to be vaccinated against COVID19. The CDC has advised that vaccines are one of the most effective tools to protect employee health and prevent disease. The CDC further strongly recommends that all individuals eligible to receive a booster shot promptly do so. VRP requires all employees to be “fully vaccinated” with their vaccines against COVID19.

”Fully vaccinated” means a person has received all recommended COVID19 vaccines.
