Google and Facebook have become two of the first major Silicon Valley firms to say they will require employees to be vaccinated when they return to the company's campuses.
In an email to staff, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the policy would roll out in the United States in the coming weeks, and in other regions in the following months as vaccines become more widely available. It's not clear how Google plans to enforce the policy. "Getting vaccinated is one of the most important ways to keep ourselves and our communities healthy in the months ahead," Pichai said.
Managers will have to enforce rules for unvaccinated employees, and it won't be easyGoogle and Facebook's announcements follow a call earlier this week by major medical groups to mandate Covid-19 vaccines for health care workers, and comes ahead of an expected announcement by US President Joe Biden that all federal employees and contractors must be vaccinated or submit to regular testing and mitigation requirements.
