’s administration has set January 4 as the deadline for large companies to ensure that their employees have been fully vaccinated or, if not, that the workers submit to testing at least once a week.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines, unveiled on Thursday, apply to employers with 100 or more employees. A number of companies, including The Walt Disney Co. and Fox Corp., already have issued some sort of vaccination requirements for employees to return to the workplace. The requirements for large private employers affect about 84 million employees, a senior administration official said.
