National Safety Council
Itasca, IL The National Safety Council is calling on employers to support the adoption and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in response to the Food and Drug Administration s recent approval of the first such vaccine for emergency use.
In a Dec. 14 press release, NSC states that widespread support of the vaccine is needed for the health of the U.S. populace and the country s economic recovery. The council recommends that all employers start developing a vaccine plan.
Plans should include educating employees on vaccine benefits and how to get vaccinated when it s available, along with setting up an internal task force to handle all vaccine-related concerns. NSC suggests that task forces include professionals from human resources, legal, communications, and health and safety departments.
