Major Airline to Charge Workers $200 per Month for Not Being Vaccinated

Delta Airlines announced Wednesday that unvaccinated workers will be subject to an additional charge of $200 on their monthly healthcare plan starting in November.

CEO Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees that the average hospital stay for Delta employees infected with COVID-19 has been $50,000. The $200 per month extra charge reflects the “financial risk the decision not to vaccinate is creating for our company,” the memo said.

The change will go into effect Nov. 1. Delta will also begin requiring unvaccinated employees to take a weekly COVID-19 test Sep. 12, if they are in an area where community transmission is high.

Seventy-five percent of Delta employees are vaccinated, and 100% of recent hospitalizations of Delta employees have been among unvaccinated workers, the memo said. (Read more from “Major Airline to Charge Workers $200 per Month for Not Being Vaccinated” HERE)
