I'm getting conflicting info on whether HR can ask people whether they've been vaccinated or not...
Our official policy in everywhere except the Bay Area (where the local counties have enacted more stringent policies) is that vaccinated people don't need to wear masks, and unvaccinated do. To enter the building you have to give a daily self-attestation of health where one of the questions is whether you're vaccinated, but "I decline to state" is actually an answer that you can select. Emails from HR have said that if you're not wearing a mask you can be required to provide proof of vaccination (with consequences up to and including termination if you're non-masked without being vaccinated), but my new manager has said that's bluster and they can't legally ask.
One of the members of the new team that I'm on just got COVID. She's a young-mid 20s healthy female and apparently lost taste and smell and has been horribly fatigued for over a week now--her boyfriend was the opposite, taste and smell ok but 103 fever. Sounds like it's been pretty rough for her, but obviously not hospital/ventilator rough.
I've spent the last week wondering whether she was vaccinated but wasn't going to ask... Then we had a [virtual] meet & greet with the SVP and she brought it up and *he* asked, and apparently she's not vaccinated.
So it apparently doesn't completely leave young people alone. But I'll bet her prognosis would have been a lot better with the shot.
