Massage School Finds Creative Way to Identify Vaccinated Students

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - May 27, 2021 - PRLog -- With the recent changes in mask mandates, businesses have struggled to find ways to balance new freedoms while still keeping people safe. At Irene's Myomassology Institute, the massage school decided to use silicone wristbands as an easy way to identify fully vaccinated students that can go maskless.

While students are not required to get vaccinated at Irene's, if they aren't they must wear a mask in school. Students show record of being fully vaccinated to receive a wristband. This is not a judgement on who decides to get vaccinated. However, the wristband enables teachers and administration to easily identify who is allowed the liberty of going without a mask.

Vaccinated student gets a different colored wristband every week. Irene's hopes that seeing people with a wristband along with the freedom of going maskless will incentivize others to get vaccinated. Vaccinated people may still wear a mask if they choose to do so. With this procedure, people have the freedom to choose what works best for them.

Kathy Skubik, Irene's Executive Director, said, "The wristbands are a colorful way to show others they got the shot. They are waterproof and won't wash off. We hope students will save them and collect all six colors!"
