[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 12th (local time) that Boeing in the United States has requested all employees in the U.S. to report their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Boeing notified the union that it requires 125,000 employees working in the U.S. to submit proof of vaccination by December 8.
While exemptions for medical or religious reasons will be considered, employees must be able to submit negative COVID-19 test results regularly.
Boeing does not plan to disclose vaccination rate data to employees.

Boeing, as a defense contractor supplying military aircraft to the U.S. government, must comply with this executive order.
