New OSHA regulations require companies to record and report adverse reactions to COVID vaccines as work related:
| “ | If I require my employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of their employment, are adverse reactions to the vaccine recordable?
If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7. |
” |
Several large companies have responded by changing their vaccination policy to "recommend" rather than "require" with respect to COVID-19, in order to avoid this reporting (and potential work-related liability) requirement.[1]
In October 2021 OSHA announced it will not collect data on employees injured by Biden's vaccine mandate.[2]
