(LifeSiteNews) — Supermarket chain Aldi is mandating the COVID vaccine for all its employees in Australia.
Allowing only narrow and documented medical exceptions, “all employees across stores, warehouse, transport and offices” will be required to be “fully vaccinated” against the novel coronavirus, announced CEO Tom Daunt.
A letter sent to employees explaining the new policy says that “ALDI has provided over 3 months’ notice of the requirement to be vaccinated by March 2022 to continue in employment,” according to a November 20 report in the The Exposé.
“Employees who choose not to be vaccinated will be permitted to work until 1st March 2022,” the announcement continued. “Unfortunately, employees who choose not to be vaccinated will not be able to continue in employment with ALDI from 1st March 2022.”
In addition to recognizing the “extremely limited instances” when an employee may not be able to receive these injections, the corporation will allow certain delays to reception of the jabs based on medical advice: “For example, someone who contracts COVID-19 after their first dose may need to wait until they have recovered from the acute illness before having the second dose.”
