SAG-AFTRA Survey: Members Strongly Support Covid Vaccination Mandate
deadline.comA strong majority of SAG-AFTRA members responding to a guild survey say they approve of Hollywood’s Covid-19 vaccination mandate.
Over two-thirds (67.1%) of members surveyed said that they “approve of employers requiring Covid-19 vaccination as a condition of access to the set,” with 26.1% saying they disapprove, and 6.8% expressing no opinion.
According to the guild, 7,696 members returned valid responses, representing just over 5% of the guild’s eligible members. A second, more vaguely worded question also shows support for the mandate.
It asked: “If there are extenuating circumstances that mean a production will not go forward in the absence of an employer vaccine mandate, do you support the employer being able to implement such a mandate?” According to a guild source, that was approved 56.6% to 28.5%, with 14.9% offering no opinion.
