Small business owners worried about the spread of measles may want to be sure their staffers have been vaccinated, but before issuing any orders, they should speak with a labor law attorney or human resources consultant

An employer generally is prohibited from requiring employees to undergo medical procedures including vaccinations under the Americans with Disabilities Act; a company that tries to force staffers to be vaccinated can find itself being sued by angry workers. But there can be exceptions, especially in places where there's a measles outbreak or where government officials have ordered vaccinations to protect the public's health.

The CDC calls measles highly contagious — so much so that if one person has it, up to 90% of those around them will also get it unless they are not protected. It can have serious complications including neurological problems and blindness. The disease was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but the number of cases has been rising.

Owners are best advised not to make any requirements about vaccinations, or take any action against employees, without getting legal advice first.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...

They should

is a violation of basic human rights

If employers require employees to have injections, the lawsuits over possible side effects will begin-lawyers will be the big winners. What’s next, controlling diets to reduce sick time? Overall, a bad idea.

I think they can ask them to be vaccinated for hep b

hospitals do it all the time with the flu vaccine

Maybe not - but he has the right to fire them for endangerment to the other employees.... or have them arrested for criminal irresponsibility....

Why not..it's their business.

No.

If there dumd enough to go for it SHAKING MY HEAD LEARN

Of course! Nurses, etc have to get the the Hepatis B vaccine is just one example

Short answer.... NO. Any invasive procedure requires the subjects informed consent that must be agreed upon of their own free will and volition and not coerced to do so, nor under duress. Holding someones job, and livelihood over them as leverage is by definition 'coercion'.

I mean if your unvaccinated and at the age to work congrats lmfao

Yes

No.

Depends on the nature of the business. If the job requires contact with children, elderly, fragile people, they absolutely should require vaccines.

Well stop the illegals in our damn country and bringing their crap in our country...foreigners come in without the proper vaccines

Can you fire your employees for whatever reason?

Hospitals don't require workers to get the flu vaccine. They have to wear masks and gloves all the time at work, but -

Hospitals do.

Sure why not we let them do anything else

Meal kit companies find the business is a rather small plateThe biggest players — Blue Apron and HelloFresh — are seeing soft demand from consumers but heightened competition from restaurants, grocers and niche players. Grubhub and Doordash will bring you dinner all prepared, no dishes to clean up. I use Sun Basket, which isn’t mentioned in your story, the most. Yes, it’s not as convenient as getting takeout but the point is to still be getting a fancier meal than I otherwise would prep for and home-cooking it to control oil and sodium intake.
