Kinda afraid here.
My company its almost like forcing employees to take “whatever” vaccine before returning to the office till the end of this year.
Im not against that but i want more time, wait for better vaccines, etc.
So im worrying i will end fired because i dont really want to take any vaccine if im not completely decided about this.
How is it in other countries? Did you have any situation where you had to prove you took any vaccine? Personally i think this info should be considered private.
Vaccine records have always occupied a unique place in terms of "medical privacy"- as its common for parents to have to provide proof of vaccination for their children to attend public schools. Yes, there are "religious exemptions"...which I find absolutely foolish. Then again, I'm an atheist so I understand I'm not in the same boat as those with a strong faith. I've just always looked at that particular angle as "didn't God create the people who developed such vaccines?" Oh well- different discussion for a different day.
Right now, I'm seeing some large-scale public events requiring proof of vaccination for COVID-19 in order to attend, but in terms of employment it seems to be completely up to each individual employer for what they expect...which I agree with. If sharing such info, or not agreeing to the terms stated by an employer is a major deal, no one is requiring you to work there. Doesn't strike me as that different as requiring certain attire for a job.
