...next month on a volunteer basis. But must be vaccinated in order to do so.

Add to that, they explicitly stated that once the Federal guidelines for mandatory vaccinations come out, they WILL implement it. On our Workplace site, some were none too happy. But the rest were all for it.

But the real kicker is this. They will transition some positions to virtual, but may still require you to come to the office once every week or two. In some cases, like myself, I will have to fly up to Seattle once every quarter and be in the office for a week. So that means, even if you are "virtual" you are still going to have to get vaccinated for those few time you do show up.
