Provide Vaccines, Not Require Immunity or Vaccination Passports For Now.

ABSTRACT

In principle, mandatory vaccination in employment could be justified in certain circumstances. These include (1) the availability of safe and effective vaccination; (2) if alternative, less coercive strategies did not work; and, (3) the costs to the individual were proportionate. However, in COVID-19, the long term safety of vaccines is yet to be established. Vaccines should be made available by employers, and voluntary vaccination encouraged.
