It may be a matter of when, not whether, the state legislature will address the issue of requiring COVID-19 vaccinations in the workplace.
What side of the issue legislators fall on could be among the more intriguing developments of the 2021 session.
So far, no bill has been introduced that specifically addresses COVID-19 vaccinations and employment, although there have been three related to return to school.
Yet, Gov. Roy Cooper said in March he planned to talk with legislative leaders about whether vaccines should be required for certain jobs.
âSuffice to say weâre going to be pushing for people to get this vaccine,â Cooper said. âWeâre going to continue to work with businesses and others about the best way to do that.â
