Supansha Development Foundation (SDF) recognizes the importance of vaccinations in protecting the health and safety of our employees, volunteers, and the communities we serve. This Vaccine Policy outlines the organization's guidelines and expectations regarding employee vaccination.
The objective of this policy is to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for all employees and volunteers at SDF. By implementing a comprehensive vaccination program, we aim to reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and promote the overall well-being of our workforce.
All employees and volunteers of SDF are required to be fully vaccinated against diseases as recommended by the local health authorities. This includes vaccinations for common diseases such as influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, and hepatitis, among others.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
SDF is committed to promoting vaccine education and awareness among its employees and volunteers. We will provide resources, training, and information on the benefits and importance of vaccinations, as well as any updates or changes in vaccination recommendations.
Regular communication channels, such as staff meetings, email newsletters, and bulletin boards, will be utilized to disseminate accurate and up-to-date information about vaccines. Additionally, SDF will collaborate with healthcare professionals and organizations to conduct educational workshops and seminars on vaccine-related topics.

SDF acknowledges that there may be legitimate medical or religious reasons for individuals to seek exemptions from vaccination. Employees or volunteers seeking an exemption must provide appropriate documentation to the HR department or designated personnel for review and approval.
Reasonable accommodations will be made for individuals with approved exemptions, such as the provision of alternative protective measures or assignment to roles that minimize the risk of disease transmission.SDF is committed to maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of employees' and volunteers' vaccination records. Vaccination information will be treated as confidential medical information and will only be accessed by authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. All records will be securely stored and protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
