Could Property Manager Require Vaccines at Apartment Communities? It's Complicated

Could Property Manager Require Vaccines at Apartment Communities? It's Complicated

When I was little, I would worry for weeks before I had a doctor's appointment.

The worst was when it was time for the actual appointment. For everyone, right? The nurse would lead you into a brightly lit room, and you'd have to sit precariously on a high table on top of crinkly paper.

Waiting.

Was there going to be a shot? There was definitely going to be a shot. It was terrifying!

Oh, how times have changed.

 

In the United States, the COVID vaccine rollout is underway. Every state is different and has different requirements to get the vaccine. Signing up is frustrating and confusing. But hopefully as more vaccines are released more and more people will be able to get one. In fact, it is projected that the US will have enough vaccines for all adults in the county by the end of May.

But will everyone get them? 

It doesn't look like it. According to Vox, a third of adult Americans are saying they are hesitant or won't get one.

So, then, going forward, when there are more vaccines available and anyone who wants one can get one, can property managers require on-site employees and residents to receive them? After all, schools have required students to be fully vaccinated to attend class (barring religious or other exemptions). What about with COVID-19?

Well, it's complicated.
