WASHINGTON, Aug 12 ― United Airlines Chief Executive Scott Kirby said he believes more US companies and organisations will begin requiring Covid-19 vaccinations, after a meeting with President Joe Biden on the topic yesterday.
Kirby said Biden had asked those at the 30-minute meeting about their vaccination efforts and encouraged them to persuade other business leaders to follow suit. Earlier, a White House official said Howard University President Wayne Frederick, Kaiser Permanente Chief Executive Gregory Adams and a South Carolina business owner who adopted a vaccinate-or-get-tested requirement for her workers would also attend the meeting.
