My employer is mandating vaccination to return to the office.

This is a state issue.  The appeals court cited a USSC ruling on states rights regarding vaccines --- so she did not have to give another reason.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Interesting, because that puts a nail in a nat'l vaccine mandate.

Well, you're assuming logic, which is frequently not a good assumption when Democrats are involved.

Barrett is correct.  It is not the court's job to fix government.  The people of Indiana have the power here.

Here in Georgia, universities require proof of vaccination for MMR and a TB test prior to enrollment at any State institution.  There is also the option of a religious waiver.  These are outlined according to State law.  If the people of Indiana want to stop this, they need to press their legislators to change their laws and deny Indiana University the power to set it for them.

My employer is putting their foot down.  After due HR process - no vaccine, no employment.

@BassWrangler

By mandating vaccines, your employer is legally accepting liability in case something goes wrong.  Make sure you get a written acknowledgement from them.  Also request information on whether they are self-insured on this.  Find out their insurance company's tort maximum in the event that you die from the vaccine so that you can assure your family is well taken care of in the event that you do not survive.  Encourage your co-workers to do the same.

I got the vax months ago, so it's not a concern for me. I'm sure their legal team has weighed the risks and potential liability of both positions, and decided mandating the vaccine for workers who come into the office was the lower risk option.

Do not underestimate the ineptitude of HR and Legal at any company.

I got vaccinated in April.  Felt like I had a flu for a day after the 2nd (Pfizer) shot.  No magnetism yet.

I had a medium bad experience, fever for 4 or 5 days - it was 103F for a couple of days, nausea and occasional vomiting for 2 days, mild nausea for about a week. I didn't feel back to my usual self for about 2 weeks. This was after the 2nd shot.

If you get sick from an employer-mandated vaccine, they are supposed to report it to OSHA, except OSHA already has indicated they'll do absolutely nothing to enforce the reporting requirement. But it still should be considered a work-related injury and should entitled the employee to worker's comp.

A good lawyer will not be deterred by OSHA's inaction.  Let your employer know that you have that type of lawyer.
