Is it possible to force to vaccinate through an employment contract Bashny.Net

Sooner or later, each of us will have to decide whether to get vaccinated against COVID-19 . Although some countries have already begun to vaccinate with might and main, doubts hover in the society. For example, according to opinion polls, more than half of Germans have expressed their reluctance to get vaccinated. But what if it becomes mandatory?



GettyImages There are rumors that an important clause may be added to the employment contract in the future. The employer will only be able to hire people who are vaccinated. This intention was announced by the immunologist Vladislav Zhemchugov. The editorial board of "Site" offers to talk on this topic and wants to know your opinion on vaccinations.

Is it worth getting vaccinated? According to Vladislav Zhemchugov, a compulsory vaccination is needed for those who work with a huge number of people. For example, doctors and teachers. Both the first and the second are in daily contact with dozens or even hundreds of people. At first glance, it seems that there is logic in this. But doesn't such a thing deprive us of the right to choose?

Internet users did not welcome this statement very well. “Where are we going to get in this situation? We, as animals, have no right to have our own opinion ”,“ A barbarian, not a doctor. We seem to have democracy and freedom of choice! " - examples of typical people's comments.



However, this is unlikely to confuse a radical immunologist. In his statement, he only added: "Whoever is against and does not want to work on such conditions - let him work as a janitor, it is safe there."

Former chief sanitary doctor of Russia Gennady Onishchenko supported this idea. He considers such an innovation a normal work process . After all, even now highly specialized workers undergo compulsory vaccination. For example, from tuberculosis. But at the same time, the current State Duma deputy notes that such issues should be negotiated and resolved individually.

And also representatives of contact professions: the same teachers, doctors and workers in the service and trade sectors.

Experience of other countries The idea of compulsory vaccination appeared not only in Russia. For example, the Brazilian Supreme Court said that if voluntary vaccination does not work, it will be compulsory. But this will require legal grounds, that is, literally the adoption of a new law in the state.

No one will force people to get vaccinated. However, their rights will be partially limited. How exactly, time and a potentially possible new law will show.



GettyImages The poll showed that 56% of Brazilians are not against the coronavirus vaccine. But what's interesting is that this figure has dropped significantly in recent months. Back in August 2020, the number of people wishing to be vaccinated was 89%.

European countries are not yet confident about whether vaccination will be mandatory. However, they say that having a vaccine can affect a person's social life. Vaccination opponents may be banned from public places. For example, the Australian airline Quantas has already announced that it will not accept unvaccinated passengers on board.



GettyImages While people are outraged, this is inherently legitimate. Any private company, business or even a restaurant can refuse to provide services to those who do not get vaccinated. The same applies to private educational institutions. And in order to prove the vaccination, a person will need to present a special passport.

Editor’s Note There are many reasons for people not to trust vaccines. The main argument against is too short a period of research and testing. In addition, some are afraid of various side effects. What are the officially registered deaths after vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine!
