As employment law is not my main area of practice, I sought advice from a local employment attorney who provided the following advice.
As a general matter, an employer can require vaccination (and proof thereof) unless the employee has a documentable medical reason (i.e., disability), confirmed in writing by a treating physician; or religious reason, confirmed in writing by clergy. If you fall into one of these categories, please advise as the law may protect you. Otherwise, there is no currently recognized legal protection for refusing an employer’s request to take the vaccine.
Feel free to call or email me for any follow up.
