Wisconsin health leader implores employers to help vaccine rollout effort

Wisconsin health leader implores employers to help vaccine rollout effort Share Last updated on March 9th, 2021 at 02:10 pm 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.

Another new plan, but will Foxconn follow through this time?

With Fisker, Foxconn Technology Group Chairman Young-way Liu says global leaders in innovation are joining forces. But critics who have followed the company are skeptical. Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, is anticipating the deal to make electric cars won’t go very far, either. “From the beginning the lack of transparency, the lack of honesty and the lack of accountability from Foxconn has really plagued the project and investment,” Hintz told WPR. “It’s hard to take them seriously, even if there is a credible announcement.” Hintz said the company’s Wisconsin operations have appeared to be virtually nonexistent for nearly four years, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.
