Intel has told its employees in an internal memo that it will, starting Jan. 4, require employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or receive a medical or religious exemption, as the company moves to comply with the Biden administration’s federal contractor mandate, multiple media outlets have reported.
The staff message from the chipmaker—Oregon’s biggest employer—was cited by Willamette Week and The Oregonian, with the outlets reporting that the memo indicates the company is imposing the mandate in line with a federal vaccine mandate for government contractors, of which Intel is one.
