If you are told you must be vaccinated against COVID-19 coronavirus to keep your job, there are five things you need to know:
- the law no longer says most workers must be vaccinated to work outside their home
- your employer can insist you get vaccinated if that is reasonable to make your workplace safe
- if you cannot be vaccinated because of a medical condition, you may be able to continue to work, but it depends on your situation
- if you could be vaccinated, but choose not to, you could lose your job
- you should not give your employer false information about whether you are vaccinated.
- If you are not sure about your rights, you can get legal advice. See Where to get help.
