Sherman: So, a vaccine engagement strategy needs to include education, so employers should use multiple channels to send out, and this is important, science-based information to employees.

There will be a period of time, and who knows how long, where some employees have been vaccinated and others have not. And then of course, there are the mutations circulating.
