Banner Health, Arizona s largest private employer and largest health care system, as well as HonorHealth announced last week that their employees would be required to get the vaccine.
Retired nurse Diane Saylors, 67, expressed her concern that those decisions would prompt smaller health care organizations to follow suit.
Saylors said she anticipates a slew of wrongful termination cases if companies fire employees who refuse the vaccine. It is an experimental thing, it has not been FDA-approved and they want to force this on people, she said.
The Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines in use in Arizona have been thoroughly studied, reviewed and approved for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
