South Carolina lawmakers have pushed a bill forward that could prohibit businesses from firing employees if they don’t get vaccinated.
However, some changes were made to the bill that will allow some employers to require the shot.
As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes more widely available, some worry getting vaccinated will become mandatory for work. That’s why a Senate Committee has passed Senate Bill 177, which would ensure the vaccine is voluntary for many employees in the state.
"If it’s just an average employer that has no health-related business, you can’t terminate someone for not taking the vaccine," said Senate Minority Leader Brad Hutto.
The bill says if a business does not work with vulnerable populations, which is defined as people 65 and older with underlying conditions, then it can’t fire employees if they don’t get vaccinated. #WakeUpCLT #COVID19 #SCpol
