Here’s your answer with how my company plans on figuring out our vaccination status. Ridiculous if you ask me.

“Professional Staff,

Following up on the corporate announcement below regarding the mask policy, we want to provide additional information on how [we] will approach this. While this may be viewed by many as an encouraging step forward, we still need to maintain the right focus and diligence to ensure we keep our employees and our workplace safe.

Consistent with the approach of [our] employees working on site who would like to be exempt from wearing a mask at work will be required to show their vaccination card to verify they are fully vaccinated. “Fully vaccinated” means the individual has received the final dose of a COVID vaccine and an additional 14 days have passed. At this time, the decision to be vaccinated is a personal one that you should make in consultation with your medical provider as needed. Sharing your vaccination status with the Company is also a voluntary decision. When sharing your vaccination status, the Company will not request any medical information from you – simply documentation that you are fully vaccinated. Employees who have not been fully vaccinated or who elect not to share their status with the Company will continue the current protocol of wearing a mask on site. Visitors and contractors will also be required to continue wearing a mask unless they show their vaccination card.

As of Monday, May 24, if you will be on site and you wish to be exempt from wearing a mask, you must bring your vaccination card (not a copy or a photo) and get visual confirmation by _______ Until you get confirmed approval from one of these individuals, you must continue to wear a mask while on site. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of PPE policy, as it is today. The Company will not keep a copy of your vaccination card. [Our company] reserves the right to go back to requiring masks if, for example, there is a significant change in the external environment with the virus. All other COVID protocols remain the same.

We will communicate more to you in the coming days, and we will communicate with our frontline teams this Friday. You are encouraged to speak to your manager, HR, or EHS with any questions or concerns. Thank you.”

Thanks HR.
