More than 90 percent of Delta Air Lines’ workforce have been vaccinated against COVID-19 without enforcing President Joe Biden’s “divisive” vaccine mandate, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said on Oct. 15.
Delta Air Lines remains a major U.S. carrier that has chosen not to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for all its employees, although it does require all new U.S. employees to be vaccinated, and that all unvaccinated Delta staff enrolled in its health care plan pay a $200 monthly surcharge.
