GM gives staff two months to meet vaccine mandate
Company says all personnel, including visitors, required to have both doses by Dec. 12
General Motors Canada says its employees have two months to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
In a statement released Thursday, the company said that all personnel, including visitors, at General Motors facilities across Canada must have two doses of a governmentapproved COVID-19 vaccine as of Dec. 12.
“We are joining many other companies, from multiple sectors, supporting public-health initiatives to increase vaccination rates and further reduce the impact of COVID-19 across Canada. Vaccination has been shown to be effective in reducing the transmission of the virus as well as reducing the health impacts if a vaccinated person does contract the virus,” the statement said.
Exemptions and accommodations will be rare and evaluated on a caseby-case basis, the company’s statement said.
