I received a 4th email from my employer that offers covid vaccine through a vaccine clinic for employees of my category. I'm aware of Title 7 of Civil Rights Acts. It seems like there has to be a convincing proof for health or religious reason that my employer will accept for me to claim Title 7, but if I were the employer, it's not impossible to dismiss an employee by finding another reason after allowing Title 7 exemption. All employment is at will where I live, and can be terminated with or without reason by either the employer or employee at any time.
I prefer to wait until the end of the year, and see how things go. I strongly believe there will be new covid vaccines. All the more so due to covid variants they are taking about. I would rather get the vaccine that will come later than the vaccine that came out in a super rush under FDA EUA during late 2020 to early 2021. However, I'm very stressed about how delaying covid vacine could affect my employment. I imagine, I could jeopardize my employment. I've been with my current employer for over 10 years, and I'm in government sector so maybe there's more cushion for employees who aren't getting vaccinated than in private sector? My employer let me work from home due to the pandemic, and that seems to have gone ok as I was able to do all my work remotely.
If any problem comes up due to my delaying vaccination, how do I handle it, and what choices do I have? My employer keeps claiming covid vaccine is not mandatory, but I can see the hand writing on the wall. It is indirectly mandatory.
