What you need to know

Microsoft Teams is constantly expanding its services to address every kind of workforce need under the sun, and it has now stretched to cover one more sector: Government vaccination mandates. Teams now has VaxApp, a tool with which employees can attest to having had a vaccination.

VaxApp comes in response to theU.S. government’s new rulethat employers with over a hundred employees need to verify that their workers have been vaccinated or are testing negative for COVID on a weekly basis. Now, organizations utilizing Microsoft Teams have an easy, PowerApp-based way to get their employees' statuses accounted for.

You can check out VaxAppover on GitHub, where you’ll also find the full deployment guide for how to jab it into your organization’s Teams infrastructure. These are the key features of VaxApp:

Microsoft’s already made itsown stance on vaccinations clear, so the company’s rollout of technology to help monitor the situation can be seen as an extension of its existing policy.

Microsoft Teams is now in the business of making sure your teammates are jabbed. With VaxApp, it’s easy to confirm whether you’ve been vaccinated and are helping your employer comply with new policies and rules.
