Prescribe a full corona vaccination or not?

This question seems to be bothering more and more companies and industries, especially in the USA.

More and more often the answer is as follows: Yes, there will be compulsory vaccination.

Netflix * also made this decision for US productions.

This is not surprising, because only recently the work on the second season of "Bridgerton" had to be interrupted for an indefinite period after a crew member tested positive for the virus.

The shooting takes place in Great Britain.

In view of the widespread delta variant, the streaming service wants to ensure that at least productions in the USA run smoothly.

Netflix Enforces Vaccination: Who Does It Affect?

As

reported by

Deadline

magazine

, the largest American Hollywood studios have decided to give every producer a choice whether or not to require a vaccination on the film set. Netflix immediately made use of this regulation:

All actors who work in US productions on the streaming service are

now

required to be vaccinated

. Crew members who are in direct contact with the cast must also be vaccinated. The only exceptions are employees who are not present during the shooting - according to the

deadline

There should already be discussions about an expansion of the regulation.

This would make Netflix the first major Hollywood studio to enforce mandatory vaccination.

Previously, there were only separate measures in relation to individual shoots, such as the series "Gaslit" on the pay-TV broadcaster Starz.

Actor Sean Penn refused to return to the set unless the entire team was vaccinated.

Netflix prescribes corona vaccination - with a few exceptions

The compulsory vaccination is currently

only valid in the USA

.

Films and series that are shot on European soil, for example, are excluded from this.

In addition, Netflix would like to approve further exceptional cases.

These include medical, religious or age-related reasons that rule out vaccination.

If a production is currently in progress, there could

also be exceptions

according to the

deadline

, as not everyone can be vaccinated within a very short time.

Overall, however, these special cases should be kept within limits.
