Tyson Foods Requiring All Employees To Get A COVID-19 Vaccination
Tyson Foods announced earlier today that all employees will have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by November 1. And that all new employees must be vaccinated by their start date.
In a memo to employees President and CEO of Tyson Foods, Donnie King, explained why the company is taking this step:
As people have heard, new variants of COVID-19 are more contagious, more deadly and responsible for most cases in America today. In some communities, doctors and hospitals are once again overwhelmed, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting nearly all hospitalizations and deaths in the U.S. are among those who are unvaccinated. It is abundantly clear that getting vaccinated is the single most effective thing we can do to protect ourselves, our families and our communities.
