The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Peninsula in the Bay area are gearing up to welcome 1,000 students to their summer program in June. But this year, there is a new requirement for their 225-member staff: Covid-19 vaccinations are mandatory. "The vaccines have been proven to be safe, they're effective, and we have to do what's best for our students and families. And once we have that framework in place, it's a very simple decision," said Peter Fortenbaugh, CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Peninsula. As the country moves toward fully reopening and vaccinations become more readily available, businesses are exploring whether they can legally mandate new or existing staff to be vaccinated. The short answer is yes.
