Louisiana Bill Would Make Employers Liable if Vaccine Required
As of last Thursday, almost 1.9 million doses of vaccine against coronavirus had been administered to residents of Louisiana. The LDH, Louisiana Department of Health, report also found that over 781-thousand residents had completed their vaccination protocol.
That translates into about 13% of the population here in Acadiana. While many are looking forward to the vaccine and the protection it provides others don t feel that way.
It s for the protection of those who don t feel vaccination is in their best interest that legislation has been filed with the Louisiana Legislature. The bill, authored by Danny McCormick of Oil City would seek to make employers civilly liable if they force employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment.

Rural Louisianans lag in the state’s urban residents in COVID-19 vaccinations by 31%, according to The Daily Advertiser s analysis of data from Louisiana’s Department of Health.
Rural parts of the state, like the Alexandria, Lake Charles and Acadiana regions, have lagged behind the state’s urban areas in vaccinations for months as eligibility for the shots has expanded, but recently released vaccination data for census tracts across Louisiana show the urban-rural disparity transcends regional boundaries.
More than half of Louisianans live in areas with fewer than 1,000 residents per square mile, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, and those Louisianans are dramatically behind people who live inside the state’s cities and towns.
