Some employers implementing their vaccination policies are being met with resistance from employees or anti-vaccination groups together with threats of civil and criminal liability. A few have received a ‘notice of liability’ with a request to sign an indemnity in terms of which the employer agrees to be held liable in the event of an injury from a vaccination. In our view, it is not necessary for employers to sign an indemnity agreement in exchange for an employee’s agreement to vaccinate. Compensation is available to individuals (or their dependents) if they suffer an injury, illness or death as a result of an SAHPRA-approved Covid-19 vaccine.
