More than half of U.S. companies are planning to impose COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the workplace by year end, with almost a quarter considering vaccination as a condition for employment, according to a national survey of nearly 1,000 employers.
In the face of a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, spurred by the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant, that has strained the U.S. health care system, many companies have come out with mask mandates and changed their vaccination policies.
Google’s parent Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O), Walmart Inc (WMT.N), and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) are among the growing list of employers requiring some or all staff to get the vaccine. read more
The survey, which polled 961 U.S. companies that together employ around 9.7 million people, found that by the fourth quarter of 2021, over 52% of employers could have one or more vaccine mandate requirements, an increase from 21% currently.
The mandates could range from requiring vaccination for staff to access common areas such as cafeterias to requiring vaccination for all employees, according to the survey conducted by Willis Towers Watson between Aug. 18 and 25.
Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to the Pfizer Inc (PFE.N)/BioNTech SE COVID-19 vaccine, an important step that could help accelerate vaccine mandates in the United States.
“We expect even more employers to institute vaccine mandates in the wake of FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine,” Willis Towers Watson’s population health leader, Jeff Levin-Scherz, said.
The survey found the number of employers that track whether employees have completed their vaccination was increasing, with more companies considering implementing financial incentives for vaccinations.
About 62% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose, while more than half or roughly 52% are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Tuesday, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Today is the day in New York City where vaxx mandates kick in for nurses and teachers, so it’ll be worth watching the reliable alternative news to see what happens there. Even if a few cave in it’s not necessarily through employer pressure but family pressure, but there’s no way they’re all going to roll up their sleeves to accept injury or death.
So dates are being penned in where hard resistance starts but they’re not being planned by the people but by the establishments. The unions were crushed but workers can organise again, but this time it’ll be not for working rights but for the very basic right to life.
Important point to remember: DON’T QUIT – make them fire you.You then have a much stronger case for legal action.
Meanwhile – keep your powder dry.
It’s crunch time.
The truth is this, there are only 2 sides in this battle. ONLY TWO SIDES!
God’s side and Satan’s side.
You may not believe this fact now, but you will. You will find out that the Bible is right, and it always has been right.
Do pray and get a hold of GOD, because HE is the only hope we all have in this coming Hell storm which will involve the whole earth.
@ MM : that’s what the immigrants are for (to replace those that refuse to be poisoned to death).
@ Robert Newton : you still believe in the law? What’s it like on your planet?
@venus: You could still be thwarted by a corrupt judge – but why cut off all your options?
“Mandate” just means they tell you what to do. They “hand” out an order–nothing. As always, it is a battle of wills, here in the wilds of Space.
You have not seen the video of Event 201 and if you have a brain, you would find out it’s all crap and by this time over 100 million would have died. I cannot stay around a people so stupid and so evil that morons and idiots of all levels can maintain this earth with several more death programs to wipe out all life in a very short time as the death of the oceans, seas, lakes, land and that of air is without a doubt and only the idiots, (majority) would believe this crap.
