Harris Campaign Requires Employees to Be ‘Up to Date’ on COVID-19 VaccinesHannah Knudsen 16 Aug 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is requiring its employees to be “up to date” on COVID-19 vaccines, according to a job listing from the campaign, which is searching for National Booker.
The Harris campaign has a job listing for a “National Booker,” tasked with working “with the Surrogates Communications Director and Deputy Communications Director to execute Harris for President’s strategy for deploying surrogates and allies across national and regional media outlets.” According to the listing, the National Booker is also tasked with managing daily reservations with media bookers and “developing strategies to increase the visibility of campaign spokespeople and surrogates across TV networks, radio, digital streaming programs, podcasts, and more.”
Required skills and qualifications for the job are fairly run-of-the-mill: three to five years of experience in media or communications, a strong interest in media or politics, good instincts, and the ability to thrive in a “fast-paced environment.”
However, in the fine print at the bottom of the listing, the campaign makes it clear that it also expects the would-be employee to be completely caught up on his or her coronavirus vaccinations.
The requirement reads:
Harris for President requires all employees to be “up to date” on COVID-19 vaccination status as prescribed by the CDC as a condition of employment, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. If you seek a reasonable accommodation in relation to the campaign’s COVID-19 policy, you should speak to the HR Department prior to reporting to an office location.
It remains unclear what the campaign considers a “reasonable accommodation” to sidestep the coronavirus vaccination rules, such as concerns over adverse effects.
