National Association of Manufacturers Releases Statement on Vaccine Mandate
Washington, D.C. – Following President Biden’s speech on new measures to combat COVID-19, National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons released this statement:
“Americans
can be grateful to President Trump for ‘Operation Warp Speed’ that enabled the
United States to develop the lifesaving vaccines against COVID-19 and to
President Biden for his continued focus on getting Americans vaccinated. We
share their steadfast focus, and manufacturers have led the way in promoting
the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines. They are safe and effective vaccines made for
us, by people like us—manufacturers in America.
“We
look forward to working with the administration to ensure any vaccine
requirements are structured in a way that does not negatively impact the
operations of manufacturers that have been leading through the pandemic to keep
Americans safe. It is important that undue compliance costs do not burden
manufacturers, large and small alike.
“Getting
all eligible Americans vaccinated will, first and foremost, reduce
hospitalizations and save lives. But it is also an economic imperative in that
our recovery and quality of life depend on our ability to end this pandemic.
This is why the NAM and The Manufacturing Institute continue equipping
manufacturers of all sizes with resources to promote vaccination through our ‘This Is Our Shot’ project.”
