United Air CEO says 98.5% of US employees have been vaccinated

United CEO Scott Kirby said Monday that 98.5% of its US-based employees have been vaccinated against Covid-19. The carrier expects to see vaccine totals “north of 99%” when it tallies final figures for how many employees have complied with its mandate to be vaccinated or face termination. United had set a Sept. 27 deadline for all US-based workers to receive at least an initial dose of one of the two-shot, US-approved Covid-19 vaccines or the single Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Kirby says the airline has banned 700 passengers to date for not wearing a mask in airports and in flight as required by federal rules. <br/>
