That is a very good point & sets an important precedent.

If one is working in a hospital perhaps, but not everywhere. As a caregiver for a non-for profit organisation, there was no requirement whatsoever for me to have any specific vaccinations, when I started in my role. I don't recall even being asked about my vaccination status. I have had neither of those vaccinations.
Was thinking of the hospital setting, good thing everyone else had smallpox vaccination. so that it became eradicated 1979
From what I heard caregivers at Oceania in Hawkes Bay are being told to wear full PPE gear if they are unvaccinated. They don't have to if they are fully vaccinated. Not too sure that is a great policy, as both can infect the patient. I am guessing they are making it difficult for those that choose to not get vaccinated.
Sounds just like my wife lol. I don't have the answer but the question is why should OCA bear the ongoing cost of full PPE gear for those that don't want to be vaccinated ?
I can easily foresee the day where unvaccinated people are treated like second class high risk citizens. Entry to all sorts of venues will be off limits and they will find it hard to get employment in any role that involves front line service to the public. Their choice but there will be consequences that flow from that choice.
In a population that is 90% vaccinated the unvaccinated will become the vulnerable population and gradually die off.
