Today, we are announcing that the COVID-19 vaccine is going to be required for United employees. By this fall, every U.S.-based United employee will be required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and upload their vaccination record to Flying Together.
“Over the last nine months, we have learned a lot about this disease, including how vaccines are – by far – the most effective way to protect people from COVID-19," shared Scott and Brett. "In fact, we know now that an unvaccinated person is about 50 times more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 than a vaccinated person and nearly 300 times more likely to die.”
United team -
Throughout the pandemic, we have been direct and candid with you about the steps we’ve taken to keep you and our customers safe from COVID-19. In the earliest days of the pandemic, the outcome of those decisions was uncertain because we had so little data about how the disease was spread and how people were affected. Over the last nine months though, we have learned a lot about this disease, including how vaccines are – by far – the most effective way to protect people from COVID-19. In fact, we know now that an unvaccinated person is about 50 times more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 than a vaccinated person and nearly 300 times more likely to die.
Those stats are incredibly compelling and led us to an important decision about your safety: This fall, every U.S.-based United employee will be required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and upload their vaccination record.
Timing for COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement
Here’s how it will work: All U.S.-based United employees will be required to upload a vaccine card showing you have received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine (or one dose of the J&J vaccine) five weeks after the FDA has announced it has fully approved a COVID-19 vaccine or five weeks after September 20th, whichever comes first. So, the latest potential deadline for meeting this requirement is October 25th. However, according to media reports, the FDA is likely to announce its full approval for the vaccine early next month, so the earlier timeline is more likely.
