Will business owners require employees to get vaccinated?
Nine months into this pandemic, not one but two Coronavirus vaccines now have an emergency use authorization. First came Pfizer, then Moderna.
Governor DeSantis has already said that he will not make the vaccine mandatory for all Floridians but what will happen if business owners require employees to get vaccinated?
“There are circumstances where an employer can require that of certain kinds of employees,” St. Pete Employment Attorney Brian Calciano said,.
FGCU Law Professor Pam Seay agrees. “If you are required to take that vaccine and you chose not to, yes, you can be released or fired from your position.”
