Starbucks announced on March 27, 2019 that they will no longer require proof of vaccination for employees. This policy change comes after increasing public pressure to end the mandate.
In a statement, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said, “We’ve been listening to our customers and partners and have decided that ending the vaccination mandate is the right thing to do.”
This policy change comes after public pressure to end the mandate. Since 2015, when the measles outbreak began at Disneyland, public concern has increased about the safety of vaccines.
Many people believe that vaccines are harmful and that they should not be required for employees. Starbucks is the latest company to face pressure to end the vaccine mandate.
Some people are happy that Starbucks is ending the vaccine mandate. They argue that the mandate is unnecessary and that it is causing people to distrust vaccines.
Others are disappointed with Starbucks decision. They argue that the vaccine mandate is important because it protects employees and customers.
