M 3 May ~ Vaccines and the Fall
Margaret Wong, MCCC President
Below is an analysis and argument for requiring vaccinations by Andrea Henry, a union leader at the Massasoit Chapter. I am sending this out to you all (with Andrea’s permission) to invite you, statewide and chapter union leaders, to contribute your thoughts on this issue.
Please go to this Google Doc Link to add to the discussion: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N442c8chKCoSOxTBJdoCuNR0FW2T6dakCNOYQcoYfAw/edit?usp=sharing
