New York (CNN Business) Delta Air Lines is requiring new employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine, making it one of the largest US companies to issue a mandate. Bastian said that he would "strongly encourage" Delta's existing 75,000 employees to get the vaccine and help them "understand the risk to not get vaccinated." Those who opt out of being vaccinated might face restrictions, such as not being able to work international flights, he said. More than 60% of the airline's current employees have had at least one shot and it expects that about 80% of employees will be fully vaccinated, he said. In addition to Delta employees, their friends, families and eligible children can receive their vaccine at the facility.
