I wouldn't want a pregnant woman with severe allergies to be on my payroll in this pandemic unless she was vaccinated. Without the vaccine, that's far too many lives placed at risk for the pay or the job's importance.

If she was a good worker, I would do my best to work out something would keep her and her child safe, and everyone else, without the need to fully discharge her from my employ.

The same would go with any others who refused vaccination. But if a deal can't be made, they would have to go.

^^^ Bolded and underlined above to address~~ FALSE comparison!

Point is Any Corporation can/could very well demand vaccination records before hirings/and employees too. However, there'll always be exceptions> .. ala ( Allergic to components of vaccine or medical issues that disallows them to receive not get vaccinated~~ There's a LONG list of who may be unable to received any vaccine.. However/accommodations must remade for such "Employee's" if they can continue to deliver via
Remote contributions!

As to Workplace demanding vaccinations or provide "VALID" Medical rational as exceptions! As an Employee, your position should be guaranteed..

I worked in HC circles.. required to prove vaccinations/updated constantly.. then provide updated proof of valid Antibody Levels that indicated I was still immune to whatever ( i.e. Hepatitis/Tetanus/ etc etc). I retired some 5+ years ago.. so it's no a requirement/ however in my Lifetime I got Small Pox Vaccine ( sill have the scare) Polio Vaccine, TB Vaccine, etc.. and still had to get antibody teeters done q 2 years to assure immunity during my 56 years run!!

My POINT is really, it does NOT matter who you work for IF they demand or expect inoculations.. That's their right to do! IF you have some sort of inability.. and they refuse or unable to accommodate, then YOU are out of LUCK!

I actually have zero ISSUE with this tendency (mandate) at all!!

One of the benefits of self-employment is not having to be confronted with such choices. However, due to the ongoing and recently heightened attacks against small businesses, I cannot recommend self employment at this time.

What will you do if your employer mandates taking the vaccine when available?


I will have gotten it for myself and my family, long before he gets his "mandate" out of his mouth.

His words are unimportant to me.

Either way, any mandate, if ay, will be far away because the vaccine is just under an EUA, it is not FDA approved. No one except very few like healthcare, is going to want to touch this via mandates if they really do not need to.

You must not have lived here long. As a lifelong Texan (mostly,) I seriously doubt employers will mandate the vaccine. Greg Abbott has shown little concern for our health and the state is, to put it diplomatically, business friendly. Individual rights are the way of things here.The only businesses I foresee mandating the vaccine would be medical facilities. I'm a traveling healthcare worker, and I'm searching for a reason not to get it. I don't trust it. I'm content to mask and social distance until more results are in. But I love my job too so I don't know what I'll do.

Not going to happen.

It’s going to take a while before the average citizen can get a vaccine.

I work in a military HQ building and they'll all have to get it. If they require that civilians in the building get it and actually provide it to me, I'll be ecstatic. If they require it and don't provide it, then it's whatever; I'll be getting it as soon as it's available to me anyway.
