Widespread availability of Covid-19 vaccines could be a matter of weeks away in the United States, which will be a key component of corporate travel industry recovery but also is presenting new policy, technology and ethical considerations with which corporate travel programs must grapple.

U.S. President Joe Biden this week announced that he was pushing up his deadline for states to make vaccines available to all adults regardless of age, occupation or health status to April 19, a few weeks earlier than his earlier goal, which several states have already reached. About 42 percent of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine as of Tuesday, according to the White House, and while the U.S. is leading the world in terms of the raw number of vaccines administered, other countries—including Israel and United Arab Emirates—are even further ahead in terms of per capita vaccinations.

Vaccine Requirements?

So, how should corporate travel programs handle this increasing availability? Can they require employees to be vaccinated, at least as a prerequisite for business travel?

What the CDC Guidelines Mean for Business Travelers Amid Vaccinations En Masse

March 30, 2021 via Tech Republic

In light of the CDC's vaccination guidance, Finkel said organizations have to consider "whether they [will] have differentiated travel policies" for vaccinated employees and employees who have not been inculcated, although he notes that this "period is likely to be short" stateside due to the speed of the vaccination rollout.

The Importance of Situational Awareness in Risk Management
March 9, 2021 via Crisis24

Situational awareness is the concept and practice of being cognizant of specific factors about one’s surroundings and how they relate to the individual’s safety. In its most basic form, situational awareness is knowing what is going on around the individual: people, time of day, vehicles, and the potential threat that those elements pose. More advanced training of situational awareness is designed to enable people to anticipate threats and act accordingly.
