Vaccination is not Mandated, but Strongly Encouraged
The COVID-19 Vaccine is not mandated for residents, however, employers and businesses could impose requirements for those choosing not to be vaccinated if it causes safety issues. Everyone, including health care workers, are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated by federal and state public health officials. Federal ADA and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) rights allow for medical and religious exemptions from vaccination in Section K of the federal EEO laws.
