The company, which began bringing employees back into the office March 28, initially required employees to have proof of a booster shot Jan. 10 but has reversed its guidelines.
“We updated our requirements in early March to align with CDC guidance, and now COVID-19 boosters are no longer required for entry, though strongly recommended,” a Meta spokesperson told CNBC. “The primary vaccination requirement (one or two-shot series) remains in place.”
The spokesperson did not provide an explanation for the change.
Other Big Tech names such as Apple require their in-person employees to show proof they have received a COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot.
