Kashkari Says Minneapolis Fed Requiring Employees Be Vaccinated

The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis will require its employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19, the bank’s president, Neel Kashkari, said.

“In order to fulfill our public-service mission, we need more face-to-face contact than remote work allows, but there is no way for us to bring a critical mass of our staff back into our facilities and maintain social distancing,” Kashkari said Wednesday in a post on the Minneapolis Fed’s website. “Hence, we need our employees to be vaccinated.”
