MPI has introduced a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy with new requirements for everyone entering an MPI workplace or site.
Contractors and visitors who come to an MPI worksite must be fully vaccinated (3rd and any subsequent recommended dose for COVID-19) and will be asked to confirm their vaccination status via a Health Questionnaire. There are some exemptions, which are outlined in the policy.
