(Bloomberg) -- Tyson Foods Inc., the biggest U.S. meat company, said it will offer vaccinations to many of its 13,000 workers in Iowa this week.
Tyson expects many of the employees will be vaccinated later this week during events at or near company facilities in Columbus Junction, Council Bluffs, Independence, Perry, Sioux City, Storm Lake and Waterloo, it said in a statement Monday.
The meat industry was roiled by the initial outbreak of the pandemic, with thousands of plant workers catching the virus and hundreds dying. JBS SA, the world's largest meat packer, said Saturday it will offer Covid-19 vaccines to about 8,500 workers at its American subsidiaries.
