Mandatory COVID Vaccinations Prohibited
Effective February 6, 2024, employers in Texas are prohibited from adopting or enforcing a mandate that requires employees or applicants for employment to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment. Additionally, employers can’t take adverse action against these individuals for refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
There is an exception for certain health care facilities and providers. Employers falling under this exception may establish a “reasonable policy” for employees who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 “based on the level of risk the individual presents to patients.”
