Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the mandatory vaccination requirement for employees will first apply to offices in the US, before being extended to units in other countries. Employees will be vaccinated in accordance with local laws, AFP reported.
Facebook has taken similar measures. "We will require everyone who comes to work at any of our campuses in the US to be vaccinated," said Vice President of Human Resources. She said the company would work on getting back to work for those who cannot be vaccinated for medical and other reasons.
Netflix has made it mandatory for actors and set workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19; vaccination can be declined for medical and religious reasons or due to age restrictions, reports Hollywood Reporter.
