<p>(CNS): As implied in an earlier one <strong>Letter</strong> Last month, Cayman’s largest hardware retailer withheld bonuses for unvaccinated employees. Al Thompson had failed to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for his workers, but tied the payment of a special annual bonus related to successful trading in the past 12 months to the vaccination status of his employees, which he had asked them to reveal. </p>

In a follow-up letter circulating on social media, he said 91% of employees received the syringes, with only 17 left who hadn’t and who didn’t get the bonus. Thompson said he will give them another week to think about vaccination and give the company time to decide how to deal with those who don’t get the vaccination.
Thompson said he had not yet ordered vaccination of staff, but his business was the first company to put pressure on its employees and it could get to the point of making the vaccine a condition of employment. He thanked everyone who got their syringes and urged what he called great staff to “stick together” before the country reopens its doors to foreign guests.
While Thompson, one of Cayman’s largest employers, may have the opportunity to prescribe the vaccine as a future condition for new employees, firing unvaccinated employees could be against labor law.

<p>Labor Secretary Chris Saunders pointed out last week that the government will not impose a mandate beyond work permit holders and said a legal opinion from the Attorney General advised against it. </p>
<p>Changing the immigration law to pave the way for the mandatory coronavirus <strong>Vaccination for ID card holders</strong> is expected to be chaired by parliament in the middle of this month. It is hoped that this will increase the current national vaccination rate of around 67% of the resident population towards the government target of 80%.</p>
<p>With no vaccine approved for children under the age of 12, public health officials have to vaccinate almost all adults living here in order to achieve this hesitant goal, which has been persuaded to the staunch opponents. </p>
<p>Significant misinformation continues to circulate on social media platforms, such as seemingly plausible but false claims that the vaccines are experimental, blatantly false statements about dangerous ingredients that are not really <strong>in the vaccine</strong>, to egregious conspiracies of microchips inserted with the vaccine. </p>
<p>Many of the misleading stories on social media about vaccination come from just a dozen original sources. <strong>according to recent research</strong>with the aim of selling fake medicines and discrediting the vaccines. </p>
