Penn State University Reference and Instruction Librarian Sarah Hartman-Caverly holds privacy in high regard. That is why she has not disclosed her vaccination status to her employer. She says vaccination mandates should stimulate a public conversation about medical and digital privacy.
She works at the Berks County campus of Penn State University. Penn State required employees to be vaccinated by Jan. 4. Employees who did not get vaccinated face disciplinary actions including termination for some, depending on their job classification.
