Summary
More than 90% of Tyson Foods' workforce has been vaccinated after the company announced a mandate in August. The meatpacking industry has been hit hard by the Covid pandemic, with Tyson nearly doubling the number of vaccinated workers in less than two months. Other companies like McDonald's and Walmart have also imposed vaccine mandates, while United Airlines is facing termination of employees who do not comply. President Biden has unveiled a plan to increase vaccination rates, as the pandemic has killed at least 132 meatpacking workers.
