Members Soapsuds Posted August 3, 2021 Members Share Posted August 3, 2021 Any chance of soaps requiring vaccination? @Errol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted August 3, 2021 Webmaster Share Posted August 3, 2021 Disney has mandated it for the majority of its employees and is working with unions on implementation, so essentially if an actor isn't vaccinated at the time it officially becomes a requirement for employment, they'll either comply or lose their jobs. It's unlikely any actor on the soaps will actually get fired in that I'd be surprised if any of them actually don't comply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted August 3, 2021 Members Share Posted August 3, 2021 Even Miss Magabanus? I would be stunned if she backed down after the fuss she's put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted August 3, 2021 Members Share Posted August 3, 2021 Any production can mandate it, so that's up to the producers of each show: https://deadline.com/2021/07/mandatory-covid-19-vaccinations-now-an-option-on-film-tv-productions-1234796313/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted August 15, 2021 Members Share Posted August 15, 2021 These shows are a business, and the last thing they want is to suffer another shutdown. Once the negotiations are done with the unions, I would expect ABC to be first due to Disney, and then many other productions to follow. We will see if any of the other soaps do as well.

Members FrenchBug82 Posted August 15, 2021 Members Share Posted August 15, 2021 So far the performer unions have been on the side of protecting the "rights" of the unvaccinated rather than the protection of everyone, from what I gather. A bit like teacher unions were reflexively at first (and started to 180 after pressure). I'd be interested in whether the pressure comes from the backstage crew unions but it is hard to know: unions have been all over the place.

Members Taoboi Posted August 16, 2021 Members Share Posted August 16, 2021 And I'm still surprised. I mean how widespread was it? Is Production stopping? What are they doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted August 16, 2021 Members Share Posted August 16, 2021 They probably just made everyone get tested and if negative back to work, and perhaps some additional cleaning. Only if a lot of people are positive does it seem like things close like schools as in some places they do not even tell people to quarantine, if exposed regardless of vaccine status it is that insane. They think as long as people in building are masking that is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
