MKAHTL

Employees working in roles that the Company determines require routine collaboration with external stakeholders, such as customer-facing commercial or research-based roles, will be expected to follow not only Company policy but also policies established by such external stakeholders (for example, being vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to access a facility or meet with stakeholders). Please understand that, as permitted by applicable law, if you have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 and an essential function of your job is to call on external stakeholders who require vaccination to enter their premises or engage in face-to-face meetings, your employment may impose an undue burden on business operations, in which case you may be denied employment or terminated. Please keep in mind that, where authorised by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for jobs, such as Global Employee Health, if the Company considers in its sole discretion that the nature of the work poses an enhanced risk of disease transmission.
