Educators have the right to be vaccinated, but no legislation requires an obligation.
“What educators must do if they do not get vaccinated should be screened for a contagious disease. Failure to do so imposes an obligation on the employer, if the employer has evidence that the educator has not been vaccinated and screened for communicable diseases, they have the obligation to remove the person and not pay until they have been certified as sick and able to work. ‘- said T.
