R&I – FS
The past week has brought a flurry of news about companies and governments making proof of vaccination mandatory as a condition of employment, or to enter a worksite or business. New York, for example, became the first US city to require proof of vaccination for anyone looking to dine, work, or attend a concert indoors, while companies such as Tyson, Netflix, Facebook, and Walmart have implemented vaccine mandates for employees.
Some argue these measures don’t go far enough: As of Aug. 5, only half of the US population was fully vaccinated, and advocates of universal vaccine mandates say the US can no longer rely on such a fragmented approach. The highly transmissible delta variant is only increasing that urgency, and the longer Covid-19 circulates through the population, the more time it will have to mutate into variants we’re even less prepared to handle.
