Experts say we will not see vaccine duty like in the United States

If you do not want to be vaccinated in the United States, it can be very difficult in growing areas. For example, all federal officials will be asked to be vaccinated. It’s about millions of people. Deniers often have to be tested, constantly wearing masks and keeping distance, Biden announced tonight. In extreme cases, it can lead to dismissal of some officers who work with vulnerable people.

The business community also chooses on the threshold: Google and Facebook want to allow only those who have been vaccinated into the workplace. Netflix makes vaccinations mandatory for all actors and staff in all studios. The number of American universities that require vaccination certification is now 400.

The body is untouchable

Anders and the United StatesEmployees in the Netherlands could not be obligated to vaccinate in France and Italy, explains Rachel Wrightweld, an employment law researcher at the University of Amsterdam. “This is a violation of Article 11 of our Constitution: the right to infringe the body. In principle, it takes precedence over everything else.”

AVG, public data protection regulation is also important. This does not have to be the answer that applies to everyone. A company doctor may know this, but is not allowed to do anything with the information. “

Not just shooting

But exceptions must always be made, Rydveldt says. “That is the beauty of the law and often the hardest thing. For example, you have a legal article about good staff and capitalism. It will always be useful in certain cases. Suppose you work as a health worker in an IC. You do not want to be vaccinated. Then you work in another department at the hospital The argument is that critically ill patients need to be protected. It’s a broader interest that goes beyond personal rights. “

This should not lead to dismissal, which only applies in extreme cases, Ritweld insists. “That health argument does not apply to a factory where employees work in an assembly line. Then an employer can often take drastic measures like placing mudcards.”

The FNV, the largest employee body, says the debate has not yet taken place in the Netherlands. “But our position is clear: vaccination duty is a violation of a fundamental right and should therefore not be imposed by the government and employers,” a spokesman said.

Vaccine readiness is high

This was confirmed by the employers’ organization VNO-NCW. “At the moment, this debate is not among our members or not. Unlike the United States, the Netherlands (90 percent) has the highest vaccine preference, and current Dutch law does not allow it.”
