United Airlines makes COVID-19 shots compulsory for U.S. employees
The Peninsula
United Airlines Inc on Friday became the first U.S. airline to require all its domestic employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The airline said its 67,000 U.S. employees would need to show proof of vaccination, five weeks after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration fully approves any of the vaccines from Pfizer Inc, Moderna Inc or Johnson & Johnson - expected sometime in the fall - or by Oct. 25, whichever is earlier. United said 90% of its pilots and 80% of flight attendants are vaccinated.More Related News
