Other Activision Blizzard drops COVID-19 vaccine requirement

[cm2]

Read from gamesindustry biz:

Activision Blizzard announced yesterday that it would no longer require its staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to come back to the office, "effective immediately."

the company's chief administrative officer, Brian Bulatao added that the firm will "continue to monitor the risks for COVID-19 in all areas where [it] operates" and asked staff to keep providing their vaccination status via the company's HR platform, Workday.

"Having this information readily available will allow us to act quickly -- and pivot if necessary -- if we see a future spike in cases," he said.

He then emphasised what he called "the benefits of in-person collaboration" and told staff to expect additional updates in the coming weeks about "what returning to the office looks like."

Meh, most don't require this, hopefully it doesn't turn out bad.

I really don't foresee a problem but I like how they can collaborate in person so they can express each others needs, concerns or ideas. I feel like having to go through some hoops might make things slower by a fraction of a percent.

I hope Activision Blizzard at least practice social distancing to help protect the unvacinnated and people with a poor immune system at their workplace.
