We won't need a Covid passport

[Bullfeathers]

because all jobs will require proof of vaccination to work.
You work with the elderly or people it would make sense to show proof. Even working in an office to keep everyone safe. I don’t see how anyone could not get the vaccine

1. Where did you read this?

All jobs will require proof? All as in every job in the country?

[Bullfeathers]

3. I didn't

Read it but I’m going back to a”visiting angel “ kind of work and I just assumed I will have to show proof of vaccine to work. Then of course I thought about other jobs and created this post. However with what you wrote makes me think I spoke to soon. The story of my life 😁

2. I don't think that can happen

unless / until full FDA approval of the vaccine(s) and OSHA mandates. Absent those things, my understanding is that employers don't have the right to require proof of vaccination status. I could be completely wrong.

4. That's what I've heard

[Bullfeathers]

5. I feel like I'm starting

a rumor. It was just a thought in my head. Next time I’ll be more specific. I apologize to all

[Treefrog]

6. I doubt that will happen.

Everywhere I ever worked encouraged the flu vaccine, but it was never required. I didn’t work in health care, and it may be different there.

7. Okay, maybe I can shed some light on this subject. I work for a large, multinational corporation

(that everyone here would be familiar with). Anyway, once the vaccines were made available to the general public, my employer of course was completely on board, and strongly encouraged all employees to get vaccinated, as a part of process to return to a more normalized state.

My employer made the point that while they could technically MANDATE vaccination for all employers, they absolutely strongly hinted at the idea that one's future might not be so bright if they chose to refuse to do so. The wording was essentially along the lines of, "Job assignments may change, etc.". It seemed crystal clear to me that if one was unwilling to be vaccinated, some of their responsibilities may be shifted to others that would have the ability to travel, gather with others and such, without the specter of infection.

And we already KNOW that some employers are requiring proof of vaccination for new employees (Delta Airlines, maybe?).

9. Did you mean "... MANDATE vaccination for all employees," ?

[Treefrog]

12. I don't know how they can require information about your medical records.

That’s going to open a whole can of worms.

8. An article in marketwatch yesterday, EEOC say vaccines can be required by employers right now.

Most large employers will probably take this step if they cover health insurance for their employees, and also don't want to have to pay for extended sick time.

10. i have had 3 medical appts since my full vax and I tell them all to include it in my records

..and i will cont to mask up until the numbers worldwide are significantly lower.

What pisses me off are the grifters who never masked up, never got vaxed and never took any precautions and are now enjoying the sanctioned freedoms that WE sacrificed for.

11. You can always apply to the CDC to work

Dr Walensky said they do not ask their employees if they have been vaccinated. (From video posted on DU yesterday.)

[Treefrog]

13. Pretty interesting, eh?

Other employers can demand vax proof, but not the CDC. This whole thing is FUBAR.

14. Not happening I went to get mammogram

Few days ago at hospital and nurse told me many that work there didn't get vaccinated, I asked why, they are waiting. She said she did. But fact is even my hospital in town isn't making workers get it.

15. Universities and colleges will require proof of vaccinations.

This has been the standard for years for other diseases like the measles and mumps. They won't let you attend the school without proof of vaccinations.
