Most U.S. companies will require proof of Covid vaccination from employees

• throwawaysea 6y ago
  Personally I feel requiring vaccinations at workplaces (or schools or public spaces) is a step too far, and violates the fundamental rights humans have to health autonomy (making their own choices for their own bodies) and health privacy. Although these are not protected traits in US law, I feel we should protect them legislatively so people are not discriminated against in the workplace based on health choice or privacy. It also doesn’t make logical sense to coerce people to take an experimental vaccine only approved under EUA if a person is comfortable with the risks. I understand the argument that others that can’t get vaccinated may be at risk, but that slim minority is free to quarantine themselves indefinitely or wear PPE everywhere, instead of forcing others to alter their own bodies to accommodate them.

  Sounds like that actual headline should be "Most US Companies will require proof of Vaccination to collect employer incentive to get vaccination" As only 44% of employers are planing to require vaccination (as a condition to return to the office) and only 34% are planning disciplinary actions for people that refuse to get vaccination

    If the companies will be collecting incentives, will they pay for the vaccination and the time spent getting it?

      in the US the vaccination is already free, so no one should be paying for it As to the time spent, that seems unclear or not part of the survey though i know a few companies personally that are allowing employee's to use "on clock" time to go get the vaccine if they schedule it during the work day though when I got mine from check-in to out was less than 30mins, including the 10-15 mins they ask you to wait after getting the shot
