New poll question: Do you support workplace vaccine mandates?

A new poll question asking whether readers support vaccine requirements in the workplace is available to be used by WNA members. Following the full FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine, we are asking the question in light of an increasing number of employers beginning to require their workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Poll questions are available through a WNA partnership with Polco aimed at helping newspapers better engage readers and access enhanced data and insights. WNA members who have signed up for an account can access their local version of the new question, as well as local poll results, on their dashboards. Those who have not signed up can do so here.

But the man leading the effort to get county parties on board with the call for an audit insists what Vos wants isn’t enough.
