The UAW and Ford are expanding the locations where they provide voluntary COVID-19 vaccines to include its two Chicagoland manufacturing plants. Chicago Assembly Plant and Chicago Stamping Plant are the latest locations where Ford is offering the COVID-19 vaccine to employees and agency resources through the UAW and Ford-led initiative. The vaccine clinics will take place at the local UAW union halls.
The vaccination program is another step in the ongoing effort to help employees finish strong in the battle against COVID-19. Now that all U.S. residents age 16 and older are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, there is a nationwide push to make sure all Americans have easy access to a vaccine in their local area. Ford’s on-site vaccination expansion to Chicago is part of that
