- Prioritize access for healthcare workers. Healthcare workers should have priority access to the vaccine, followed by other essential workers.
- No cost. COVID-19 vaccines should be free to all who receive them.
- Equal access. Access to the vaccine should be equal for all healthcare workers, with no distinctions based on job title.
- Maintain safety standards. There should be no roll-back of PPE standards, COVID leave, workers compensation protections, and other safety standards as a result of the vaccine being made available.
- Protect vulnerable communities. After essential workers, priority access to the vaccine should be given to vulnerable communities including institutionalized settings, communities of color, and multi-generational households.
- Open communication. The state and healthcare employers should share information with workers and worker organizations at all times during the roll out of vaccinations.
