Morgan Stanley bars unvaccinated clients and staff from its NY offices

At investment bank Morgan Stanley, customers come first — so long as they have received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Beginning next month, vaccination will be mandatory for the bank's staffers, contingent workers, clients and visitors — effectively everyone who wishes to enter Morgan Stanley's offices in New York City and suburban Westchester County, a source familiar with the matter confirmed Wednesday. In particular, the thousands of employees who work in the bank's Manhattan headquarters must certify they've been jabbed if they wish to work alongside their colleagues starting July 12. Bank clients and vendors also will need to certify they are vaccinated to enter the premises.
