Chevron has adopted a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for some employees and is considering extending the mandate to its entire workforce, according to a company spokesperson and media reports.

A spokesperson for Chevron told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that the oil giant is now requiring expatriate employees, workers traveling internationally, and employees on U.S.-flagged ships to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Offshore workers in the Gulf of Mexico and some onshore support staff will also be required to receive the shot.
