recuperate from side effects, while two in three say their employer has encouraged coronavirus vaccination, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"

class=\"paywall\">\n       And workers whose employers take these approaches are more likely to be immunized: About three in four workers whose employers provided time off for vaccination or recovery said they had received at least one vaccine dose, compared to half of workers whose employers did not. A similar pattern emerged for workers whose employers encouraged vaccination (73% versus 41%).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting more Americans vaccinated isn\u2019t only up to the government,\u201d KFF president and CEO Drew Altman said in a statement. \u201cEven without requiring workers to get a vaccine, employers can play a role by offering paid time off to get vaccinated and encouraging their workers to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, more than half of overall respondents said employers should require employees to get vaccinated unless they have a medical exemption, and less than four in 10 said employers should offer cash bonuses or other incentives for vaccination.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_workers_dont_want_a_vaccine_mandate\"><\/span>Most workers don\u2019t want a vaccine mandate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>But a majority of workers (61%) don\u2019t want their employer to institute a mandate, with vaccinated workers evenly split on the issue and unvaccinated workers overwhelmingly opposing a requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Most employers so far have shied away from mandating the shots. But December guidance from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as a June court decision upholding a Texas hospital system\u2019s vaccine mandate for employees, have paved the way for employers to pursue such policies.<\/p>\n<p>The KFF survey also found that despite their theoretically higher risk of workplace coronavirus exposure, employees who only worked outside the home (54%) or in a combination of home and outside the home (66%) were less likely than workers who only worked from home (81%) to say they\u2019d been vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>So what would motivate immunizations among people who are unvaccinated, including those who want to \u201cwait and see\u201d how the vaccine works out for others?\u00a0<\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"inline\n                \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n          media-object\n          type-InsetPullQuote\n            inline\n    scope-web|mobileapps\n  article__inset\n          article__inset--type-InsetPullQuote\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wsj-article-pullquote article__inset__pullquote \">\n<p class=\"pullquote-content article__inset__pullquote__quote\">\n        <span class=\"l-qt article__inset__pullquote__mark--left\">\u201c<\/span><br \/>\n        Companies and states across the country have launched incentive programs to boost vaccine uptake.<br \/>\n        <span class=\"r-qt article__inset__pullquote__mark--right\">\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>       Topping the list was full Food and Drug Administration approval of the vaccines, which are currently being used under a less-rigorous but faster type of clearance called emergency-use authorization.
