 * In terms of the new directives by the Department, employers may enact a policy
   of mandatory vaccinations, but that the process must be accompanied by a thorough
   consultation process and must respect the rights of the employee.
 * Employers should consider all less intrusive and restrictive means to ensure 
   occupational health and safety.
 * An employee’s right to bodily integrity may in limited instances be reasonably
   and proportionally limited.
 * An employee must consent to being vaccinated.
 * It is essential that any employer planning to implement mandatory workplace vaccinations
   must notify affected employees of their right to refuse vaccination on constitutional
   or medical grounds.
 * An employee may not summarily be dismissed for refusing to be vaccinated. Instead,
   reasonable steps must be taken by the employer to accommodate a refusing employee.
