Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine Policy

Overview:

We have implemented multiple measures to prevent COVID-19 from spreading within our company and from being transmitted to our artists and guests. As an additional measure, The Carolina Theatre is mandating COVID-19 vaccines for all workers to reduce the risk of harm to employee and customer health. This policy is intended to comply with all state and local laws and to be in alignment with guidance from the CDC and EEOC.

Personnel Covered by This Policy:

Due to the nature of our business and our employees’ and volunteers’ close contact with touring artists and with thousands of guests each week, we are requiring vaccination against COVID-19 for all employees, volunteers, and on-site personnel of all vendors. We see this as an important step to avoid closure of the theater and to avoid increasing the potential risk and harm to the safety and health of our team, our artists, and our guests.
