Q: Vaccination Policy
I moved States for a new job. When I signed the offer letter I also signed the companies vaccination policy (1st and 2nd Shot) and was in full compliance. Now I moved, already working and suddenly HR asks for my vaccination card again. Shortly after I received an email saying they mistakingly had me sign an outdated policy and to immediately get a booster. I don't feel comfortable being forced into something, nor did I sign for it. If I don’t comply I will loose my job. What are my rights? Thank you.
A: The employer is within its right to ask you to get a booster shot. If your refuse, you may be terminated. Best of luck.
Neil Pedersen agrees with this answer
A:
You have the right to quit and not get the booster shot. The employer has the right to require a booster, and if you do not do as requested, you can be terminated.
Good luck to you.
