ALEXANDRIA, Va. NACS in a letter yesterday asked U.S. public health agencies to issue statements “emphasizing that state and local rules should not place the burden of verifying vaccination on employees.”
The letter to the heads of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention follows an Oregon Health Department rule that requires private businesses, employers and places of worship to verify the vaccination status of people who don’t wear face masks in their facilities.

While most states are moving away from mandatory coronavirus mitigation measures now that the pandemic is in its waning days, Oregon is bucking the trend. In order for a person to enter a business, workplace, or church without a face mask, proof of vaccination must be provided. Even though Oregon lifted its mask mandate for the fully vaccinated, proof of vaccinations will be the key to taking advantage of a maskless face. So much for the honor system.
The proof of vaccination mandate is a statewide one. Critics say this will provide additional burdens on employees.
