At Ford, the health and safety of our employees is our top priority. Vaccination has been proven
to play a critical role in combatting COVID-19. As a result, Ford has made the decision to require
U.S. salaried employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, unless employees require an
accommodation for religious or medical reasons. Being fully vaccinated means that an
individual is at least two weeks past their final dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine regimen.
As a condition of employment, newly hired employees will be required to provide proof of their
COVID-19 vaccination or an approved medical or religious exemption.
