"Due to the declining effectiveness of the main series of vaccines against Corona, and the emergence of infectious variants such as Omicron, a third vaccine is now part of the Corona vaccine program to protect you from a serious illness," Apple management wrote to its employees.
Similarly, companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) demanded a third vaccine from its employees before returning to the offices in full in March, while Google, although it did not adopt a broad third-party vaccination requirement for its employees, did require its employees to be vaccinated in the first two doses. Weekly.
The company even began this week to take employees who did not present vaccination certificates or appropriate exemptions, for a one-month paid vacation.
Whoever of the Google employees who chooses to continue and not be vaccinated, will be transferred to a six-month unpaid leave - after which he will be fired.
