Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: community guidelines re covid vaccinations

[Ann Lehman (ann]

It was really pre-vaccinations....a few folks moved out because their kids
could not visit and some objected on principle.  There is not a requirement
that anyone gets vaccinated it just makes it easier when everyone does, as
many here are frightened about opening things even to family and
friends.....
