Two weeks later, Bucks County announced that county and court employees must be vaccinated by Oct. 29 or face losing their jobs.
“When you work for your local, county, state or federal government, the job comes with an inherent duty and commitment to protect and serve the public,” said Diane Ellis-Marseglia, chairwoman of the Bucks County Board of Commissioners, in a statement at the time.
“Getting vaccinated protects not just our employees – and we need healthy employees in order to assist the public – but also serves to strengthen our community’s resistance to this killer virus, keeping everyone safe, keeping kids in school, and keeping businesses open,” she said.
