Boeing<\/a> suspended its coronavirus vaccination requirement for U.S.-based employees, the U.S. planemaker said on Friday, capping weeks of uncertainty as thousands of workers sought exemptions and challenges to a federal mandate played out in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an internal announcement, Boeing said its decision came after a review of a U.S. District Court ruling earlier this month that halted the enforcement of President Joe Biden’s vaccine requirement for federal contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some big healthcare chains and companies such as General Electric, Spirit AeroSystems, and Amtrak have also suspended vaccine mandates for workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent weeks, the number of Boeing employees seeking a vaccine exemption on religious or medical grounds had reached more than 11,000 – or nearly 9% of its U.S. workforce – a level many times higher than executives initially estimated, Reuters<\/a> first reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the vast majority of applications were on religious grounds thrust one of America’s largest employers into the center of a debate about the ethics of probing an employee’s religious beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing’s vaccination requirement has resulted in more than 92% of U.S.-based workers having registered as being fully vaccinated, or having received a religious or medical accommodation, according to the Friday memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Boeing spokesperson confirmed the decision, and added that the company was “committed to maintaining a safe working environment for our employees, and advancing the health and safety of our global workforce.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing suspended its vaccination requirement in line with the court’s decision prohibiting enforcement of the federal contractor executive order and a number of state laws, the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
