Despite pleas, Community Transit sticks with vaccine policy
EVERETT — Community Transit’s board and chief executive officer are sticking with their COVID-19 vaccination requirement, despite recent pleas from current and former employees.
When CEO Ric Ilgenfritz announced the policy last fall, about 66% of the agency’s employees were fully vaccinated. That number was flat for months prior despite cash incentives and paid leave to get the vaccine and for any side effects.
As of this week, over 99% of Community Transit are fully vaccinated, according to spokesperson Monica Spain.
Pandemic precautions, such as wearing masks and distancing, largely have ceased, even as cases again jump.
