Workers Refusing Covid Vaccine Could Lose Their Jobs By Sarah Kopit | May 5, 2021
Texas nurse Jennifer Bridges plans to go to work on June 7, like it’s any other day. The only difference is, when she gets there she expects to be fired.
That day is the deadline her employer, Houston Methodist hospital, has given its staff to get the Covid-19 vaccine, something Bridges, 39, doesn’t want to do.
“There is just not enough research out yet,” she said in an interview. “To be a fully approved vaccination it takes years of trials and research. And this thing has been out less than a year.”

The vaccine. For what has felt like the longest year of our lives, we have held out hope for a return to “normal.”
That hope hinged on the development, approval and distribution of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, as well as the eligibility for it and access to it.
As we waited, we hemmed and hawed over hypotheticals: Should I get the vaccine? Will it be safe? Will I be able to stop wearing a mask? With the welcomed news that all Wisconsinites over the age of 16 are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, these questions are no longer hypotheticals.

âA lot to them seem to be looking at the 4th of July, or July 1 as the time when employees are invited back to the office,â said Rich Kirchen with the Milwaukee Business Journal. âThey wonât have to return at that time. But by September theyâre going to be expected back in the office. Thatâs according to Metro Milwaukee Association of Commerce, which has really been in touch with a lot of companies through all of this.â
