Joe Biden announced that Covid-19 vaccination would be mandatory for the four million federal government employees. In companies with more than 100 employees, a health pass must be presented.
From now on, federal government employees will need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 in the United States. In general, any employee of a company with more than 100 employees must present a health pass. This concerns over 80 million people. Some companies have already taken the initiative and did not wait for the legal obligation. At a biotech company in Maryland, for example, the rules are already in place and vaccination is mandatory.
“It’s not just a matter of individual freedom, the pandemic has shown us that sometimes we have to act for the good of the community.“explains an employee. Still, 20% of employees of this company still refuse to be vaccinated.”We are not going to recruit unvaccinated people and we want to gradually convince our current employees, either to be vaccinated or to be able to justify two negative PCR tests per week.“, says the CEO of the Qiagen Group, Thierry Bernard.
