“Employees who want to get the Moderna shots were told to submit applications,” a source told The Korea Herald. “However, there is no confirmed administration schedule yet.”
An official from SK hynix told the paper: “SK hynix is considering measures to follow the government guideline regarding the vaccination.” They have 28,000 employees in Korea.
