The COVID19 vaccine is widely available in our community and there is no
cost to receive it. However, many are hesitant to receive it for a variety
of reasons, ranging from misunderstandings about the science behind the
vaccination to logistical challenges.
If You Are a Resident
Do your family and friends have needed information about the COVID19 vaccine?
Have those eligible for vaccination received it? You can help in any of
the following ways:
Be an advocate for the COVID19 vaccination.
Share information and facts about the vaccination, and provide information
as to how and where one can get the vaccination in the community. The
easiest way to find a vaccination location is at www.vaccines.gov.
Encourage your family and friends to get the COVID19 vaccine. If they have
questions, share this website as a resource and a way to get more information.
If You Are a Business
Employers of all sizes can do many things to increase the vaccination rate
among their employees.
Encourage employees to get the COVID19 vaccine.
Offer paid time off for employees to receive the vaccine. This will help
employees who have any type of vaccine reaction that occurs and requires
an employee to spend recovery time at home.
Host an on-site vaccination event for employees. Some companies have also
successfully included the families of employees during these events.
Offer a financial award or another incentive (such as bonus vacation days)
to employees who receive the vaccine.
Any encouragement offered by companies to employees to receive the vaccination
is a good thing and will help strengthen business operations both now
and into the future. If your employees are vaccinated, it’s a competitive
advantage for your business.
