FAQs for Vaccinating Employees
When can my business or organization vaccinate our employees?
Vaccination depends on the organization type. While vaccines have been available since December, the initial focus has been on these priority populations:
- High-risk individuals at increased risk for severe illness (including those with underlying medical conditions and people over 65).
- Essential workers and critical infrastructure, which is generally defined as, but not limited to, medical and healthcare, telecommunications, information technology systems, defense, food and agriculture, transportation and logistics, energy, water and wastewater, and law enforcement.
- Geographies with a high prevalence and spread of COVID-19.
Following this, the goal has been to have the vaccine available to every American as quickly as possible, and estimates for this goal are projected to be around mid/late summer to early fall.
So if your organization is defined as “critical infrastructure” you will likely be able to vaccinate your workforce within the next few months. If not, you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
How much will the vaccine cost?
In the US it’s free, but you will have to wait your turn. The vaccine is being distributed at no cost to Americans and cannot be purchased or resold. Other global regions may have different parameters. Contact us to talk about setting up a COVID-19 vaccine program outside of the US.
How will my business or organization procure vaccines when the time comes?
The US Federal Government has begun distributing the first tranche of COVID-19 vaccines to state governments and through the federal pharmacy partnership with private companies for administration to citizens.
In this initial phase, the states have determined the first-round recipients, generally following the federal prioritization guidance to include healthcare personnel, essential workers, adults 65+, and with underlying medical conditions.
The Federal Government continues to work with state, local, tribal and territorial governments to fill gaps that local health officials have identified in the administration of vaccines. It is anticipated that there will be distribution of vaccines for large organizations’ occupational health settings but guidance or details have yet to be defined.
Other countries are approaching distribution differently. Contact us to learn more about vaccine distribution in your region.
Should I continue with testing, screening, and other preventative measures once the vaccine is available?
Yes. A robust COVID-19 management program will remain important in conjunction with a vaccine program. Many unknown variables are still surrounding the distribution process, citizen take-up rate (vaccine hesitancy), and reinfection rates after receiving the vaccine. Additionally, all organizations should continue to follow country, state, and local regulations.
How effective will the vaccines be?
Initial data from late-stage clinical trials for Pfizer and Moderna shows a high efficacy rate at 94-95%.
