In 2021, mass vaccination of the population against COVID-19 began. On this occasion, many are interested in what will happen to those who refuse to be vaccinated against coronavirus. The latest news on this matter is for your attention.

What the law says

According to the current federal law No. 157 "On immunization of infectious diseases" dated September 17, 1998, every Russian has every right to refuse any types of immunization. All claims of employers and local authorities in this regard are illegal and subject to appeal.

Labor law expert Tatyana Nechaeva in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda advised how to get around the problematic issue during an interview or at a permanent place of work:

1. You should correctly answer the recruiting agent that such information is personal in nature, and the vaccination will in no way affect the quality of performance of work duties.
2. You can ask your employer for a link to the relevant article of the law and a written requirement for mandatory vaccination or a negative test for SARS-CoV-2.
3. In extreme cases, the employee has the right to apply to the Labor Inspectorate to protect his rights.

Alternatively, you can still refer to the state of health, since under certain indicators, vaccination against coronavirus is prohibited. To do this, you will have to apply with the appropriate statements to a medical institution. It doesn't matter whether it is a district clinic or a private doctor, the main thing is to undergo an examination and get an appropriate conclusion.

So far, only the adult population is being vaccinated, since each person must personally sign a consent to the manipulation. Naturally, a citizen does not have a legal basis for this up to 18 years of age.

Who is required to get vaccinated

According to the latest news, in the 2020 National Calendar of Immunoprophylaxis, there are categories of the population who will have to be vaccinated against coronavirus in any case:

• doctors, teachers and social workers of all categories;
• officials;
• customs officers;
• conscripts and military personnel;
• people with chronic diseases at risk;
• specialists working on a rotational basis;
• volunteers;
• representatives of the transport industry;
• service workers;
• students and students of different educational institutions.

The order of the Ministry of Health No. 125n of 2014-21-03 No. 125n "On the approval of the national calendar of preventive vaccinations …" clearly explains what will happen to those who refuse coronavirus vaccination in 2021. Such an employee can:

• fire;
• send on unpaid leave;
• not to be admitted to retraining in special courses.

Vaccination eliminates the need for self-isolation after returning from abroad. After vaccination, a citizen of the Russian Federation with the help of the State Service resource receives an electronic certificate and can submit it at the place of demand.

Entry and exit to other countries

The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, in an interview with the rg.ru portal, said that so far the EU countries have not introduced mandatory immune passports for tourists. WHO adheres to the same opinion for a number of objective reasons:

• lack of a sufficient amount of vaccine;
• the presence of proven efficacy of drugs throughout a person's life;
• imperfection of the legal framework in relation to pandemic situations on a global scale.

At the same time, most states require mandatory testing when crossing the border and self-isolation for all categories of travelers. For example, residents of France and Great Britain, upon returning to their homeland, are forced to live in special hotels at their own expense, if they have not received a coronavirus vaccine. The same applies to the citizens of Israel - there is a need for citizens to observe self-isolation in separate hotels upon their return to the country.

Outcomes

1. No one can force you to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
2. Compulsory vaccination is not provided for by current legislation.
3. There are certain categories of workers for whom immunization is mandatory.
4. You do not need to be vaccinated to travel or enter another country.
