Houston Methodist Hosp<\/em>., 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 110382 (S.D. Tex., June 12, 2021), one hundred seventeen employees from Houston Methodist filed a lawsuit over the employer\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine mandate alleging wrongful termination. The plaintiffs argued that it was illegal because it forced people to get an \u201cexperimental\u201d vaccine in order to keep their jobs. The District Court Judge rejected the claim that the vaccine is experimental and dangerous, explaining that Texas state law only protects employees from being fired for refusing to commit a crime, and \u201creceiving a COVID-19 vaccination is not an illegal act, and it carries no criminal penalties.\u201d \u00a0The Judge also relied on the nature of an at-will employment relationship, stating that \u201c[i]f a worker refuses an assignment, changed office, earlier start time, or other directive, he may be properly fired. Every employment includes limits on the worker\u2019s behavior in exchange for his remuneration. That is all part of the bargain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, at least one U.S. Court of Appeals has addressed a vaccine mandate \u2013 albeit not in the employment setting. Specifically, on August 2, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit denied a motion for a temporary injunction that would have kept Indiana University from enforcing its vaccine mandate, noting that the school requires students who are exempt for religious or medical reasons to wear masks and be tested twice a week.\u00a0 Specifically, the Court concluded:<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>Each university may decide what is necessary to keep other students safe in a congregate setting.\u00a0 Health exams and vaccinations against other diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, varicella, meningitis, influenzas, and more) are common requirements of higher education.\u00a0 Vaccination protects not only the vaccinated persons but also those who come in contact with them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Court relied on a Supreme Court case decided more than 100 years ago in\u00a0<em>Jacobson v. Massachusetts,\u00a0<\/em>197 U.S. 11 (1905), where the Supreme Court held that a state may require all members of the public to be vaccinated against smallpox.\u00a0 This case developed the legal framework to support vaccine requirements imposed by state governments. While there were factual differences between the two cases, the Court explained \u201cthere can\u2019t be a constitutional problem with vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From an employment law perspective, a COVID-19 vaccine mandate does not violate any federal workplace anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act.\u00a0 This is because a person\u2019s vaccination status is not a protected class.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, with several state legislatures looking to pass laws to make it unlawful to discriminate against an employee based on vaccination status, employers need to confirm that there isn\u2019t an applicable state prohibition on a vaccine mandate. Montana, for example, passed a law in May 2021 making one\u2019s vaccination status a protected class. The law goes even one step further by prohibiting employers from requiring an employee to disclose their vaccination status or receiving a vaccine that is subject to the FDA\u2019s preliminary emergency use authorization status.<\/p>\n<p>While courts and state legislatures continue to delineate the scope and legality of COVID-19 vaccine mandates, employers that are considering imposing such a mandate should take steps to protect themselves from a potential lawsuit.\u00a0 Specifically, employers should carefully evaluate why they require that their employees be vaccinated and gather information that will help make an informed decision, such as the number of employees already vaccinated and whether such a mandate would receive significant pushback from employees.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it will be imperative for employers that do impose a vaccine mandate to determine whether there are any employees who cannot be vaccinated due to religious or disability-related concerns and outline a clear process for employees to request an accommodation.\u00a0 Employers should carefully document and maintain any communications and records related to the interactive process and the employee\u2019s accommodation request.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2021.
