Vaccinated study participants experienced fewer and less persistent symptoms, as well as fewer work hours lost, compared to unvaccinated participants.

In the United States, there is currently no federal law guaranteeing workers paid days off, and many are not entitled to unpaid time off.

According to a 2020 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 78% of workers have access to paid sick time.¹ This means that close to 1 in 4 workers may experience financial hardship when illness strikes.

COVID-19 can have significant effects on individuals’ wellbeing, causing a decline in their health-related quality of life. The infection symptoms, such as fever, cough, and fatigue often thwart productivity, making it harder to work and get daily tasks done.
