United Airlines Holdings Inc. said it would give staff who have so far declined to be vaccinated against Covid-19 an extra five weeks to get inoculated as the Sept. 27 deadline approaches for the company’s mandate.
Chicago-based United was the first U.S. carrier to mandate staff vaccination and on Wednesday said it would put employees exempted on medical or religious grounds on unpaid leave and would look for ways to later reintegrate them through enhanced testing and masking.
