As the COVID-19 vaccine continues to roll out, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says employers can legally require their employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Legal experts say there are exceptions to the federal guidelines, like if an employee that has a disability, they could request accommodations and be exempt from a mandatory vaccine.

Other exemptions include those who refuse vaccinations based on religious beliefs. Even with COVID-19 deaths reaching more than 3,000 a day, for the first time in a month, some are still hesitant about the vaccine.

Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, an employer must determine if an unvaccinated worker poses a health risk to others and must try to make reasonable accommodations before terminating that employee.
