Currently Authorized Vaccines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases websites, there are currently two authorized and recommended vaccines to prevent COVID-19: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. As of December 28th, there are also three more vaccines that are in phase 3 of clinical trials. Despite this advancement, the United States has a limited supply of these vaccines that will increase in the next coming weeks. Once there is a large enough quantity to easily distribute it to everyone, the CDC’s plan is to have them available at doctors’ offices, retail pharmacies, hospitals, and federally qualified health centers. Healthcare personnel, long term care facility residents, essential workers, people aged 65 years and older, and those with underlying medical conditions are at the top of the list for receiving the authorized vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will this affect your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing you can do for your business is to create a back-to-office plan that allows for ample communication between yourself and your employees, especially because it will still be at least a few weeks before the vaccines are widely obtainable. This includes an honest read from your employees on what they want and how they are doing, giving employees the resources they need both in office and at home, providing an office space to accommodate those who do want to come in, anticipate what could go wrong and what to do if rates go up in your city, and ramping up your office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
