‘No vax, no work’ is illegal, DOH stresses as fake news causes panic

Individuals wanting to be inoculated with the COVID-19 jabs set up camp along sidewalks and streets as the line stretches from the SM Manila vaccination site to almost at the Quinta Market in Quiapo, Manila on Thursday midnight, Aug. 5, 2021. (The STAR/Miguel de Guzman)

 

The Department of Health denied swirling reports about the COVID-19 jab requirement for work and financial aid as false information.

 

Some local government units have also issued the same advisories after seeing an overcrowding at vaccination sites in several cities in Metro Manila and in Antipolo, Rizal.

 

“Hindi totoo na kapag hindi ka nabakunahan ay ibig-sabihin wala kang ayuda o hindi ka pwedeng magtrabaho. (cross emoji) Paalala sa ating lahat na huwag maniwala sa mga fake news. Iwasan natin ang pagkalat ng mga ito para sa kaligtasan ng bawat isa (laptop and cellphone emojis),” DOH said on Augsut 5.

If it's an employment at will situation, definitely legal.

 

If you can fire someone for smoking in the office, you can certainly say vaccination is a requirement to work here.

let's wait for the almost inevitable, 'no vac, no extension'.  I give it 18 months before that becomes a reality.

Still dont think some have grasped there is worldwide pandemic occuring !

Of course its going to be vaccinated only on flights, at immigration, at renewals etc etc etc no matter where we travel in the world....Get vaccinated and at least make it *easier* on ourselves moving forward

 

We all will make no mistake when push comes to shove
