COVID Vaccine Mandates, Injuries, and Exemptions

One of the most frequent questions we receive here at Vaccination Injury Lawyers is whether we can help anyone exercise protected rights to avoid a COVID vaccine mandated by their employer or school. The short answer is that we cannot help. 

Private employers and schools are free to set conditions of employment/attendance that all employees and students must adhere to or risk losing the ability to participate in the organization. The COVID vaccine is no different. Except in certain narrowly defined medical, disability, or religious situations, no valid exceptions apply. Any such exceptions are applied under state law and enforced locally. We are not, at this time, in a position to assist in filing exemption claims or to aid in pursuing religious or medial exemptions.

Our practice remains focused on helping those INJURED by vaccinations and not on avoiding them altogether. If you feel like you have been injured by a COVID vaccination, you do not have a claim under the NVICP right now --- but you may in the near future. 

Our advice to anyone with a possible COVID injury is to keep a detailed journal of onset, symptoms, and treatment, along with obtaining any and all necessary or recommended medical care. Following this plan will lay the groundwork for recovery in the Vaccine Injury Program if/when the COVID vaccine(s) are finally included as covered vaccines.
