That situation is impossible to assess without knowing the job description. I would also be hesitant to work at a place if the employer demands vaccinations because they are refusing remote work even when the job description does not require it. We have a pandemic and employers need to minimize unnecessary risks like open floor plans and crowded meetings rooms for employees that doesn't need physical proximity in order to do their job. On the other hand if the job description is being in a hospital or elder care facility, it would be irresponsible to let nonvaccinated employees treat clients. Everything between is a sliding scale that in a pandemic should lean towards safe rather than unsafe.
- eternalban 5y agoIf an employer demands vaccination they should be liable for all possible adverse effects, including indefinite long term care costs.
- belorn 5y agoThey should have the same liability as to anyone which interacts with the company or organizations, including patients outcomes in hospitals. If a patients get infected by a sick doctor or nurse, the fault is at the employer who allowed that situation from happening. Every person who get injured at work is to some degree harmed by the company that allowed that injury to occur. This is why companies has insurance to deal with that. If vaccinations is required for the job then getting vaccinations is by definition work, should happen during paid hours, and any adverse effects dealt with as with any other work related adverse effects.
- eternalban 5y agoBut unlike work related injuries, we simply do not know when adverse effect will manifest. If, for example, an employee leaves a company shortly after submitting to vaccination mandated by her employer for continued employment, at most the insurance coverage will extend for a month after termination.
