That will clearly depend on the market. There will be places where a vaccine requirement is a marketing advantage and places where it is not. |
Colleges and universities for starters. Starting with Rutgers. |

If the colleges drop the mask requirement and spacing after introducing the vaccination requirement then my student would be fine with that. Last year he opted for online classes after doing two weeks in mask. If it's vaccine and masks then no vaccine as online classes are still available. Classes with masks on were bad: uncomfortable and sad. Luckily religious exemptions are still allowed. |

I am a business owner and I will not turn customers away. My staff and I are all vaccinated. The vaccines work and cases are dropping. Unvaccinated people know their status and will carry on however they choose. |
Some businesses will choose to require vax and some will not. |
Is part of your decision based on how much of a hassle it would be to get proof from every customer? We're never going to have a national vaccine passport. That puts businesses in a difficult position of having to figure out how to figure out whether a patron is actually vaccinated. |
My hair stylist (who has a line out the door) just told me she will not accept unvaccinated customers. I was thrilled. No masks in studio! |
Some states have it - obviously the ones with large pro vax populations like NY. |
If there was an easy app you could flash, some sort of voluntary centralized record, I would absolutely prioritize businesses that used that. |
They should be more careful, seeing how badly they screwed up their covid response last year. No reason for places with more competent government, like Florida, to do so. |
Partly. I wouldn't be comfortable asking people private health information and I wouldn't put my staff in that position, either. I just want to conduct business as usual and for customers to come in and shop. We will keep masking as long as mandates are in place and, when they are lifted, we won't look sideways at those who continue to wear them. Depending on the customers, we may keep up masking for awhile. |
You heard how mask enforcement went in some places, didn't you? I'm vaccinated, but I would not be comfortable showing my phone and my information to anyone who isn't my healthcare provider. Like, I'm not going to share my business with the sub guy and he probably just wants to make my sub, take my cash and send me on my way. "Carding" everyone will slow down business, for one thing, and it will deter customers like me, for another. |
That's fine. Other businesses will take your business. I don't view it as a hassle, especially if there is an app. I have already decided to switch massage therapists to one who is requiring vaccination. She is so busy with work for the same reason that I have to wait two months. |
