USPS seeks ability to gather COVID-19 vaccination, testing data from workforce

The Postal Service is laying the groundwork to track the vaccination and testing status of its workforce amid the COVID-19 pandemic, or any future public health emergency.

USPS, however, says it’s only giving notice as it prepares for “potential future contingencies,” and is not, at this time, updating its COVID-19 vaccine or testing requirements, nor is it seeking to collect data on the vaccination status of its workforce.

USPS, however, appears unwilling to rule out the possibility that it could eventually face vaccination or testing requirements.
