When Nike told employees last fall that it was planning to mandate that corporate employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Dex Briggs didn’t think too much about it.
“I’m already vaccinated,” he recalls thinking, “so that doesn’t really matter.”
When Nike laid out details of its policy, though, Briggs became alarmed. The company required employees to give a third-party verification service permission to access their vaccine records and allowed that outside firm to share information with others in order to confirm a vaccination, according to a copy of the terms reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
