Covid, Google and Facebook: vaccine obligation to return to work

Google and Facebook will ask their employees to get vaccinated against Covid before returning to work in person. In an email to the staff, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that “getting vaccinated is one of the most important ways to keep us and our communities safe in the coming months.” However, Pichai did not specify how this company policy will be pursued. For her part, the vice president of Facebook Lori Goler has made it known that every employee who enters one of the offices in the United States will have to be vaccinated. Google and Facebook are the first of the big Silicon Valley companies to make the vaccine mandatory.
