Google has become one of the Bay Area's first major tech firms to end its COVID-19 vaccine policy.
In a company wide email sent to employees on Tuesday acquired by CNBC, Google’s VP of global security Chris Rackow announced that “vaccines will no longer be required as a condition of entry to any of our buildings.”
The Mountain View-based company originally implemented one of the tech world’s strictest employee vaccine policies, threatening workers with termination if they did not comply with innoculation requirements. Tuesday’s memo stated that “the world is in a very different place” than when their initial rules were put in place. Rackow added that “COVID-19 vaccines have been a critical part of our overall strategy to keep Googlers safe, especially in the workplace” and encouraged “everyone to remain up to date with their Covid-19 vaccines going forward, just as we encourage everyone to get a flu shot every year.
