Businesses that have announced vaccine mandates say some workers who had been on the fence have since gotten inoculated against COVID-19. But many holdouts remain — a likely sign of what is to come once a federal mandate goes into effect. apne.ws/DxpivVS
Some companies have seen success in converting hesitant workers. United Airlines announced last week that 97% of its U.S.-based employees were fully vaccinated ahead of its Monday deadline for vaccination. apne.ws/cO10hVq
Tyson Foods, whose workforce was hit hard by the pandemic, has seen the vaccination rate of its more than 100,000 workers rise to about 80%, up from 50% when it announced that all employees would have to be vaccinated by Nov. 1. apne.ws/zDbgzVc
But as the Biden Administration’s mandate approaches, other companies with existing requirements are still seeing holdouts. apne.ws/9ejt2v1
