WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 28th October, 2021) As many as 72% of unvaccinated American workers are ready to quit their job if their employers mandate vaccination against the coronavirus without an option to get tested weekly instead, according to a new poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation out on Thursday.
If a testing option were offered by their employer, only 37% of unvaccinated said they would quit their job, while 11% said they would rather get the shot, and 46% would opt for weekly testing, the poll results showed.
If presented with the option of either getting a vaccine or being tested every week, 5% of all US adults say they would leave their job, and 9% would leave if no testing option were offered, according to the survey.
Only 1% of all US adults said they have already quit their job because their employer introduced a vaccine mandate, the poll found.
The findings also show that 25% of American workers say their employers have instituted a vaccine mandate, an increase of 16 percentage points since June.
The poll was conducted among randomly selected 1,519 US adults age 18 and over by phone on October 14-24.
