Pandemic COVID-19 Vaccine Policy <br /> Interim Guidelines and FAQ <br /> May, 2021 <br /> Overview <br /> AECOM's Pandemic COVID-19 Vaccine Policy provides an enterprise-wide approach to the expansion of <br /> existing COVID-19 health and safety programs to address vaccines. <br /> AECOM's position <br /> AECOM is committed to safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, independent contractors, <br /> subcontractors, and the public. Based on the information currently available,AECOM supports community <br /> uptake of approved COVID-19 vaccines as the most effective measure to end the current global pandemic. <br /> AECOM,therefore, strongly encourages, but does not require,all employees receive an approved vaccine <br /> when available and eligible.To encourage take up of vaccines AECOM will support local vaccination efforts <br /> where feasible. <br /> AECOM will continue to require that all employees, independent contractors, subcontractors, and visitors to <br /> AECOM workplaces comply with best practices for health and safety as communicated by local health <br /> departments and/or the World Health Organization or U.S. Center for Disease Control.AECOM will <br /> communicate those best practices and guidelines to employees through local Workplace Readiness Plans. <br /> We recognize that access to vaccines may vary based on geography and that certain employees may be <br /> reluctant or unable to receive the vaccine. To ensure safety and health standards are met, unvaccinated <br /> employees may be required to adhere to certain safety protocols, which may include providing proof of <br /> suitable negative test results. <br /> Making an informed decision <br /> We encourage all of our people to make an informed decision concerning COVID-19 vaccines by reviewing <br /> vaccine facts sheets and following official information sources from the following reliable sources: World <br /> Health Organization, U.S. Center for Disease Control, and their local health department. We encourage <br /> employees to check the source of any other information they read about any vaccine, including that which is <br /> posted on social media, as we are aware that there is a certain amount of misinformation circulating. <br /> Treating colleagues with respect <br /> We recognize that the subject of vaccinations can be divisive and can lead to the expression of strong <br /> opinions. As always, all employees are expected to act professionally and comply with AECOM's Code of <br /> Conduct. Failure to do so will be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination of <br /> employment. <br /> ©AECOM Restricted AECOM <br /> Cw■� <br />
