i keep hearing about employers who are making it mandatory for workers to get the covid vaccination.  HORRIBLE.  i thought we lived in a free country.

It is understandable that employers may require vaccinations as a condition of employment in order to keep their workers safe, but it is unfortunate that some employees may have to choose between their job and their beliefs. The situation is an ethical gray area and each person will have to make an individual decision based on the risks versus rewards of getting vaccinated.

While it is true that employers cannot forcibly make their employees get the COVID-19 vaccine, they can enact policies requiring employee vaccination as a condition of employment. The decision ultimately comes down to the individual worker's right to decide if they feel comfortable taking the risk associated with getting vaccinated or not. Unfortunately there is no federal law prohibiting employers from making it mandatory for workers to get vaccinated, so each case will depend on local laws and company policies.
