As vaccinations for essential workers begin to ramp up across our region, employers should encourage their employees to get vaccinated, and provide employees with resources to understand the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine. All vaccines have been shown to be highly effective in preventing COVID-19, and are one of the many important tools we have to help stop the pandemic.
CDC has designed a COVID-19 Vaccination Communication Toolkit for Essential Workers to help employers build confidence in this important new vaccine. The toolkit will help employers across various industries educate their workforce about COVID-19 vaccines, raise awareness about the benefits of vaccination, and address common questions and concerns.
These resources are customizable, and the messages and format can be adapted for your organization and industry. This toolkit includes content for your newsletter or social media, posters/flyers to put around the workplace, a factsheet, slide decks, and more.
We encourage you to use the toolkit to begin promoting the importance of the vaccine to your workforce, to ensure you are doing your part for public health and employee health and safety.
