CDC says large employers can set up temporary vaccination sites

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance on Tuesday saying that employers with large spaces and workforces can set up temporary vaccination sites.

The new guidance says that employers should consider establishing workplace vaccination programs if they have a “large number of workers on site with predictable schedules” and a “location with enough space to stand up a vaccination clinic while maintaining social distancing through the entire process, from screening to post-vaccination observation.”

The guidance also includes recommendations as to who should get priority for vaccinations and how to build up workers’ trust in the shots.
