How can an employer tell you what you should do with your own body?
Let's say you don't want it (i'm not arguing that's the right idea).
Your employer says, I want all my employees vaccinated, full stop
The business is not customer facing, for instance some kind of factory making some kind of parts.
1 How the hell can they tell you what to do with your own body at that point ?!?!
2 How the hell could such a medical or religious reason be argued? It's an invasion of privacy that you would have to tell your employer what religion you have. It's a violation of medical privacy to have to tell you what ailment you may have.
I don't think any of that would hold up in court, at all.
Not if the job itself isn't something like being a nurse in a cancer ward, or donor recovery , for people with no immunity that can't take a vaccine..
At that point the job itself would mandate it because it poses a risk to others.
Similar example..
Rabies vaccine required by employer for people who are expected to work with rabies infected animals in a research facility.
Makes sense
requiring Rabies vaccine by employer that doesn't work with animals at all
Not legally enforceable.
