In Brazil, the Ministry of Labor decides that any worker who refuses to take the vaccine can be fired

The Brazilian Labor Prosecutor's Office determined that workers who refuse to receive the vaccine against Covid-19 without presenting documented medical reasons may be dismissed for cause.

Although the new norm indicates that the best path is the orientation of workers, that is, that companies invest in raising awareness and negotiating with their employees, the understanding is that the individual and unjustified refusal to vaccination may put the health of workers at risk. other employees. Thus, the employee who does not accept to take the vaccine can be dismissed.

The Supreme Federal Court of Brazil had already decided in 2020 that, although it cannot force anyone to get vaccinated, the State can impose restrictive measures on citizens who refuse to take the vaccine against Covid-19.
