Google this, courts rule corporation can require vaccines
A Texas federal judge on Saturday
upheld a Houston hospital system’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for staff, in a decision that could offer clarity on the legal question of whether companies can require the shot.
But don’t expect the ruling to open the floodgates on more employers requiring COVID-19 vaccinations, experts said.
At a time when many bosses are already reluctant to force the issue, the court decision might nudge more health-care providers into requiring the COVID-19 vaccination, they said. But that could be it.
“A lot of employers have decided they don’t want the controversy,” said Kevin Troutman, a partner at Fisher Phillips representing management in employment law cases.
