In response to media reports of hesitancy among construction workers to get vaccinated and the various vaccine mandates being imposed by a broad range of owners, AGC has compiled new resources that we are urging members to share with their staff, trade contractors, subcontractors, and partners about the benefits of vaccination and encourage them to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Our message is simple, getting vaccinated is the same thing as looking out for each other on the job site. With the vaccine, they are protecting themselves, their co-workers, and the people they care about at home. Without the vaccine, they are as much a danger to others as someone without PPE on a job site.
In addition to vaccine-specific information, we also have resources to assist with vaccine policies. Click HERE to access those resources.
Just as the construction industry showed America how to work safely during the pandemic, we want this industry to show America how getting their shot is the best way to end this pandemic.
As we learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine related policies, including mandates, we will update the web page, so please check for updates periodically.
