If it’s about safety, why are we watching the reps in FL burn? Didn’t see anything about that. All HQ focused.
Very interesting change in policy, especially on the day a new article hit the main stream news showing Pfizer vaccine efficacy dropped to 42% in July. Comparison of two highly-effective mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 during periods of Alpha and Delta variant prevalence
Given Lilly stopped distributing bamlanivimab due to lack of efficacy from variants, its a matter of time until the vaccines are ineffective.
For those who will be quick to blame the unvaccinated for variants, please hold on and do your research....
The vaccinated still allows individuals to carry, shed and transmit active virus. They do not prevent infection nor do they eliminate or cause the virus to be inactivated. A recent study out of Wisconsin showing vaccinated individuals carried as high of a viral load as unvaccinated counterparts. As long as vaccinated carry active virus, they will bread mutations--this has been demonstrated in viruses prior to COVID19, with data to demonstrate the vaccinate will produce more serious variants than unvaccinated.
For now, vaccines work, but this policy is a scary, precedent setting step. But hey, as Dave Ricks said, this is in the best interest of employee health and that is our #1 priority. Maybe future policies should focus on reducing risk factors for COVID, like policies that require reductions in BMI. If employee health is #1 priority, then lets really get to work on making this priority a reality!!
Finally, once everyone is vaccinated, the 'work from home' policy will be revised, not allowing flexibility provided today....For office based employees, your work from home days are limited.
Thank you Lilly and Dave!
If anyone doesn’t like it here then LEAVE!
So let me get this straight, our company is mandating all employees get a vaccine from a company that pulled its reps from the field, to work from home, to keep them safe? Makes complete sense.
Not an anti vaxer, but will Lilly take responsibility for employees who have an adverse reaction to the vax?
This is a sincere question. If an employee becomes sick, disabled or dies will they compensate the employee's family?
I’m guessing it’s the same as if someone had an adverse reactions to one of our drugs which would be on us not the doctor. That would be on the manufacturer of the vaccine.
It’s funny all these people complaining about getting a vaccine . These are the same people that are out all weekend in packed places not wearing masks. Then they feel a little sick and call out because they think they were exposed to COVID. Another excuse to not work. For field reps, you’re going into office and hospitals exposed to sick patients. Stop complaining. Office should be mandating it as well and if you don’t like it then go work for someone else.

Apparently the reaction was too much. Lilly took down all the comments posted in reaction to the mandate. All for the mandate and all against it. Run roh.
you’re so right. Old people are not dying this time around… because they got the vaccine.
it’s a younger population in the hospital now because…. Older people aren’t getting hospitalized resulting in lower average age of hospitalizations.
Do you not know how statistics work?
If you want children to be eligible for the vaccine, then push for that. For those with health complications that may be appropriate.
The risk of death for those unvaccinated under 30 is the same of all other age groups after vaccination.

Mortality (43 states, NYC, PR and GU reported)*
- Among states reporting, children were 0.00%-0.26% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 7 states reported zero child deaths
- In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death
Here is someone so foolish they believe all the statistics and information the government and anyone in a white coat tells them.
Who do you listen to, exactly? Enlighten us.Here is someone so foolish they believe all the statistics and information the government and anyone in a white coat tells them.
How should they have rolled it out? This is quick like a band-aid. We are at will employees - they are giving you a choice.
Fact: vaccine saves people!people’s propensity towards authoritarianism and their willful ignorance to that fact is startling.
