(AP) — Starbucks has finished brewing its corporate policy for workers and the COVID-19 vaccine. It says its U.S. workers must be fully vaccinated by Feb. 9 — or face a weekly COVID testing requirement. The coffee giant says it’s policy is drawn up in harmony with federal instructions that have issued vaccine-or-test requirements for companies that employ more than 100 workers.
