As eligibility for the COVID-19 widens to more groups in the coming weeks, the state’s top health official said employers will play an important role in helping their employees access the vaccine when the time comes.
Interim Wisconsin Department of Health Services secretary Karen Timberlake said the role of employers varies, but could include allowing employees to take off work to get vaccinated, hosting on-site vaccine clinics or simply sharing information about vaccine safety with employees.
In a recent survey of small employers in the state, nearly a third (32%) said they don’t think they have a role to play in helping their employees get the COVID-19 vaccine, which Timberlake said was an “alarming” number.
