1. provide their employer with proof of vaccination, and any additional information required, on the request of their employer and by the date directed by their employer, and if the vaccination status of the employee changes the employee will provide this information and their vaccine proof to their employer without delay, and the employer will update the record of the employee’s vaccination status.​
