More than half of Americans favor vaccine mandates at work, poll finds

Half of U.S. workers support vaccine requirements at their workplaces, according to a new poll. The findings come as more employers issue such mandates following the federal government's full approval of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.

The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that about 59% of remote workers favor vaccine requirements in their own workplaces, compared with 47% of those who are currently working in person. About one-quarter of workers — in person and remote — are opposed. The sentiment is similar for workplace mask mandates, with 50% of Americans working in person favoring them and 29% opposed, while 59% of remote workers are in favor.
