The Importance of the Covid Vaccine……

“Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic back in March 2020, the virus has claimed more than 2.5 million lives globally with upwards of 113 million cases being confirmed by laboratory tests (March 2021).

The pandemic has impacted almost every corner of life, causing global economies to stall, changing the way we work and interact with our loved ones, and stretching healthcare systems to the limit. Governments around the world have been forced to implement harsh restrictions on human activity to curb the spread of the virus.

COVID-19 vaccination is now offering a way to transition out of this phase of the pandemic. Without them, many scientists believe that natural herd immunity would not have been sufficient to restore society to its normal status quo and that it would have resulted in extreme fatality. This is something that has been echoed by many health organizations including the WHO. In a scenario without access to vaccines, strict behavioral measures may have had to remain for the foreseeable future.” read more…….

As another method to help limit the spread of the Coronavirus, we encourage all employees to get a COVID-19 test at a local test site.  All tests (even if you do not show symptoms) are covered at 100% by Adient medical plans. 

If you have any symptoms, please get a test.  If you do not have symptoms, you may still be able to get a test depending on location. 

All other states:  Our state may only allow testing if you have symptoms, but this is continuing to expand so please continue to check with the local government.

If you have already returned to work and get a test, you must complete a new well-being survey. 

If you have not returned to work yet, we recommend that you get a test just prior to your return to work date:
