So PwC announced effective May 1 they are dropping the vaccine requirement to got to office or events. Obviously we follow client guidelines for their locations. Have any of the other Big 4 changed their guidance?

KPMG doesn't require booster except to go to national training. They established that additional policy about two seconds before most people stopped caring about COVID.

Other than that no major changes except I believe they recently dropped the daily health check-in survey requirement to go to the office.

I think the CDC waffling and the lack of people taking boosters is what drove the PwC approach. While compliance with the the first 2 shots or one for J&J was fairly high, many declined the first booster and now that CDC is saying you need a second booster and the science basically says you need a booster every 2 or 3 months, I think PwC decided they were better off just calling it. At this point most are vaccinated, a large percentage have had it and the variants are getting weaker.
