Fox News employees located in the network’s New York City offices will now be required to have at least one vaccination shot by Dec. 27 if they want to work in the office, according to an internal memo sent to the company’s staffers.
, who recently implemented a citywide mandate for all private employers.
“The timing and ramifications of this mandate are very unfortunate, but we must take timely actions to be compliant by 12/27,” the company added. “This mandate by the Mayor prohibits unvaccinated employees from working at Fox New York offices as of 12/27.”Outside of New York City, Fox staffers are not technically subjected to a vaccine mandate butwhich require employees to either provide their vaccination status or submit to daily COVID-19 tests in order to work in the office.
When announcing the company’s vaccine policy this past fall, Fox Corp. human resources chief Kevin Lord boasted that over 90 percent of Fox’s full-time employees had been fully vaccinated. While the company has been expressed pride about the vaccination status of its staff, Fox News hosts and commentators have regularly railed against vaccine mandates and repeatedly questioned the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 shots.
