With ski season and flu season right around the corner, Vail Resorts is now encouraging employees to get their flu shots (and COVID-19 shots while they’re at it) in order to help keep their work staff fully operational no matter what sickness waves move through the high country.
“There is not an unlimited supply of employees,” John Plack, Vail Resorts spokesman said. “The safer and healthier we can keep our employees on the mountain and at home through things like flu vaccines and COVID 19 vaccines … we are supportive of all health and safety measures.”
Each year there’s a big push for folks to get their flu vaccine, and while Pharmacy Manager Mariah Mayerle said there was actually a increase in people coming in to get their shot while everyone was also coming in for COVID-19 shots, she said the increased health requests are weighing a bit on the public now.
