Manufacturers Step Up To Get America Vaccinated Following President Joe Biden’s call to employers across America to do everything they can to help their employees—and their communities—get vaccinated, National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons released the following statement: “Vaccines are howwe get armed against COVID-19,pro- tect our loved ones, grow our economy and get back to the moments we miss.The hard work and innovation of America’s pharmaceutical manufacturers, coupled with the Biden administration’s laser focus on vaccine dis- tribution and the dedication of local vaccination teams across the country, have enabled the administration to double its lofty goal set for the first 100 days.” President Biden announced that he expects the na- tion to have administered 200 million shots within his first 100 days. He called on every employer in America to offer full pay to their employees for any time off needed to get vaccinated and announced a paid leave tax credit that will offset the cost for businesses with fewer than 500 employees. “Manufacturers remain absolutely committed to helping our teams get safely vaccinated,” Timmons added. “Through our ‘This Is Our Shot’ project, we’re making resources available to answer questions and share the facts about how these vaccines are safe and effective. Additionally, many manufacturers have sup- ported vaccination by giving employees time off to get vaccinated.With a new tax credit, it will be even easier for manufacturers and all employers to offer this op- tion. This is our shot to finally end this pandemic, so we’re going to keep working with the administration, state and local leaders and our member companies to get everyone vaccinated as soon as possible.” Launched earlier this year, ‘This Is Our Shot’, live at NAM.org/ThisIsOurShot , includes six main com- ponents: (1) science-based messaging research; (2) emergency industry convening and education, such as webinars; (3) an online vaccine information hub; (4) a PSA campaign; (5) the Yellow and Red Ribbon Ini- tiative (for vaccinated individuals to show their peers they’re a part of the fight); and (6) a rapid response media and digital campaign.
