It started Monday when my boss made me put a mask on and stay 7 ft away from everybody else. Then today he asked me when I’m getting the vaccine and I politely said I don’t know (I’m not getting the vaccine). This is actually the second time after this response that he’s responded saying that changes are coming to the company. Almost implying that I’d be fired if I don’t get the shot. I’m highly considering applying for other jobs.



The first place you screwed up is even answering the question.

It's not anybody else's business whether you've been vaccinated or not.

Unless they have a written policy saying it is a requirement of employment I would decline to comment. It's certainly legal for them to do that (unfortunately) but make them do that and then make your choice.

IMHO I don't believe many companies will be taking the risk to make written policy requiring it as then they have some liability if you have an adverse reaction and then it would even become an OSHA recordable.

Even many healthcare settings do not require it as they know it is a huge can of worms.

From the company's perspective, I would:
Add to the employment app "have you ever been vaccinated for Covid-19
If they answer "no", then I wouldn't hire them, and if they leave it blank, then I wouldn't hire them...problem solved.
