Officials expect the current surge of cases, fueled by the fast-spreading Delta variant, to get worse before it gets better but say immunization is the key to ending the pandemic
San Diego County officials called on employers Monday to require their workers to get vaccinated against the coronavirus or receive a weekly COVID-19 test.
It remains unclear how many businesses will institute vaccine requirements for their workers, but many of the region’s largest employers have already done so or plan to soon. About 2.8 million San Diegans are currently eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, but 500,000 of them have yet to get their shots. Notably, the county is not requiring businesses to mandate workplace vaccination and isn’t issuing a vaccine mandate for the public. Instead, officials continue to recommend that everyone who’s eligible to get a vaccine do so.
