Employers are administering COVID vaccines at work

Details: Pharmaceutical companies, meatpackers and airlines are among the employers that have received the go-ahead to administer vaccines.

• These employer-run vaccination sites rely on state and local public health authorities to allocate them doses, and employers usually have to register with public-health programs.

Between the lines: Workplace vaccination could help target shots to the most at-risk workers. It also gets rid of transit and time-off issues for employees.

• But not all companies will apply for doses, or receive permission to administer them, setting up potential inequities.

What they're saying: "Employers have found this is the best way to get your population back to work as safely as possible," Tobias Barker, chief medical officer at Everside Health — which helps employers with vaccination events and record-keeping — told WSJ.
