WorkCare is a professional medical network providing a wide variety of medical-related services to employers.
Among WorkCare's services is COVID-19 screening using an app which is a great alternative to stationing a person at the entrance of your workplace taking each employee's temperature and logging that information into a database.
My employer has been using WorkCare for sometime now - it takes more time to log into the app than it takes to complete the survey. The process evaluates your risk and in some cases will trigger a medical professional to follow up with additional personalized questions to make a final determination regarding your being allowed to show up at work.
WorkCare is changing their questionnaire to ask about vaccinations so the WorkCare algorithms and medical staff properly evaluate situations that may require quarantine.
Specifically they will ask if you have you received the COVID-19 vaccine with the following response options:
1. Yes – You have received the vaccine
2. No – You have not received the vaccine
3. Snooze – You anticipate getting the vaccine in the future but have not yet had it
4. Decline – You choose not to answer the question
If we respond yes then we will be prompted to provide details about the vaccination - manufacturer (Moderna, Pfizer, J&J), dose (1st or 2nd shot), lot #, etc. They say this information will also be used in their algorithms to make determinations for quarantine and other matters.
WorkCare stresses only they get this information, not any employers who use WorkCare.
Interesting.
I will be choosing option 4: Decline to answer the question.
