Should the government require employees of large businesses to be vaccinated from COVID?

In September 2021 Italy became the first European Country to make COVID-19 health passes mandatory for all workers. By the end of the same month Canada, the United States, Australia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Turkmenistan all announced similar vaccine mandates. Proponents of the mandate argue that these mandates are the only way to end the global COVID-19 pandemic. Opponents cite evidence that people who already have natural immunity are at heightened risk of vaccine side effects caused by an augmented inflammatory response.

Yes, unless there is a legitimate medical reason it cannot be given to a person such as allergies or other-drug interactions.

This should be against the law completely there is no case where the government should be allowed to say what we put in our bodies.

 @9ZJ2ZTBanswered…2yrs2Y

Government should mandate it for public servants. I support vaccines but a business orientated requirement misses too many people.

 @9ZHV2WTanswered…2yrs2Y

Better inform people on the pros & cons and encourage them to be vaxed, if they are told they HAVE to some will protest, make them see its not scary

 @9Z9Z22Vanswered…2yrs2Y

I think businesses should ask that employees get vaccinated for X,Y and Z reasons and that employees should make this decision for themselves.

 @9Z997FSanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, save for exceptions of people who might be endangered by receiving the vaccine (eg. immunocompromised people).

 @9YMXRXManswered…2yrs2Y

For health care professionals/anyone working in close contact with others eg. Nursing home workers, physios, etc

 @9YKHJPJanswered…2yrs2Y

I think it should be mandatory for the employees to be educated on the vaccines but not made mandatory to get them if they don’t want to
