I would also be interested in knowing if the "no vaccine required" positions/policies have changed in the last 2 months (aside from Denver and NYC that we already discussed) to require vaccines for all employees or a specific sector of public employees, like public safety. And if so, would they share their policies and any lessons learned/litigation claims, etc. I did review the google doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gTNwveCCN3bwBc5_zjJ4sKR6tGwNFktTIcTOEJ-PCYI/edit#gid=0) with the responses but wonder if anyone had changed their positions due to the delta variant and uptick in cases and hospitalizations. As always, thanks for all your great feedback! Katie S.
