Much has been written recently about vaccinations; some refuse to be vaccinated for numerous reasons.

I think they have every right to not get vaccinated, even though they may infect others. The courts have ruled that employers have a right to require employees to be vaccinated to ensure a safe workplace for clients and employees.

I will not employ a person who is not vaccinated, except those exempted for medical reasons by a doctor.

I hope other employers, big and small, will follow my lead. This will make the Lewiston-Auburn area a safer place to live and work.
