CHICAGO, United States (AP) – United Airlines says that more than half its employees who weren’t vaccinated last month have gotten their shots since the company announced that vaccines would be required.

The airline’s 67,000 US-based employees face a September 27 deadline for getting vaccinated. United said yesterday, however, that employees whose bids for exemptions based on medical reasons or religious beliefs are denied will get five more weeks to get vaccinated.

 

After that, the airline said, they will face termination or unpaid leave.

 

Kirk Limacher, United’s vice-president of human resources, made the statement about vaccinations yesterday in memos to employees that spell out how United will handle requests for exemptions.
