Workers’ comp exemption for employer-mandated COVID vaccination

Bill to exempt an injury or disability caused by an employer-mandated COVID-19 vaccination from the Workers’ Compensation Law and to allow the employee to sue the employer for damages.

While HB401 would make a good effort at reducing vaccine choice discrimination in Ohio, since employers would assume liability for vaccine-related injuries to employees as a result of employer-mandated vaccines, OhioAMF believes that employers shouldn’t be permitted to mandate vaccines to begin with, such as the protections provided within HB248. We are waiting to see how this bill evolves before making further determinations regarding our support or opposition to the bill.
