Welcome to the Vaccines At Work hub, built in partnership with the Health Action Alliance (HAA) to help employers encourage vaccinations, improve workplace safety, and implement equitable COVID-19 vaccine policies.
We believe that if done right, employer vaccine requirements can be a helpful tool to increase both vaccination rates and workplace safety. Employers who participate in the Vaccines at Work Initiative will receive free access to trainings, toolkits, one-on-one support, and a network to learn best practices and address challenges.
If you’re an employer, sign up to learn more. Or if you work with businesses nationally or in your community, sign up to learn how you can help get more employers involved. You can also reach out to our team directly at employers@madetosave.org.

1. Health Action Alliance’s COVID-19 Small Business Guide

This comprehensive guide from HAA has critical resources for Small Business Owners hoping to address COVID-19 vaccination equitably and safely.
2. Vaccines at Work Digital Toolkit:

3. Continued support
Together with Health Action Alliance, we offer the following free of charge resources to employers who join the Vaccines at Work Initiative:
Business Outreach Resources For Community Organizations
Businesses in your community may not have COVID-19 vaccine or safety protocols in place, may have questions or hesitations about establishing requirements, and/or may need help ensuring their vaccine and safety policies are equitable.
We have created a toolkit to help community organizations conduct vaccine outreach to businesses in their community. You can use these tools to reach out to local businesses to start conversations about vaccine policies, offer ongoing support as businesses explore and implement equitable policies, and help connect employers to additional Vaccines at Work resources.
The Business Outreach toolkit includes (all linked below) a small business canvassing script and FAQs to guide your conversations with businesses, templates for emails, sample social media posts, and a printable flyer to share with businesses looking to learn more about our initiative and seeking support with implementing a vaccine policy for their workplace
Business Outreach Flyer (You can also access an editable version of this flyer here.)
Small Business Canvassing Script
Estas herramientas fueron creadas para ayudar a las organizaciones a realizar alcance a los negocios locales sobre las vacunas.
