Iowa bill would ban businesses from requiring employees get vaccinations
David Conway gets first COVID-19 vaccine in Iowa.
Two Republicans in the Iowa Senate have agreed to advance a bill that would prohibit Iowa businesses and health care facilities from requiring that employees get vaccinations.
A 97-minute-long subcommittee hearing on the bill was dominated by critics of vaccinations in general. Shanda Burke, a lobbyist for a group called Informed Choice Iowa, said she quit her job as a medical assistant because her employer required flu shots.
“No other health decisions are like that, you know, blood pressure, anything like that, it’s completely up to you between you and your doctor and not between you and your employer,” she said.

Iowa has massive gaps in the data it reports on the race and ethnicity of the people who have tested positive for the coronavirus and those who have received the vaccine, Iowa Department of Public Health data shows.
For weeks state health department data, as reported on coronavirus.iowa.gov, has reported double-digit percentages of race and ethnicity data as unknown or pending investigation. Public health experts warn the lack of information creates a blind spot in understanding and addressing whom the pandemic is affecting and the equity of the response.
As of noon Tuesday, 35% of positive cases were reported as an unknown race and, separately, 38% of people who have tested positive have their ethnicity recorded as pending investigation, the Iowa Department of Public Health coronavirus website shows.
