The Labor Inspectorate has said employers can require their staff to be vaccinated against coronavirus and, in exceptional circumstances, terminate a contract if an employee is not vaccinated. This is possible because an employer can list a vaccination as a mandatory qualification for a position.
On Thursday, ETV s current news show Aktuaalna kaamera reported that the expectations of Ida-Viru Central Hospital s board were different from reality when fewer staff than expected expressed an interest in the COVID-19 vaccination. While 130 employees reacted immediately at the first chance to vaccinate, we expected the pace to stay like that, but it has been more lukewarm than expected, chief doctor of the Ida-Viru Central Hospital Toomas Kariis said.
