Fired for refusing the vaccine? Don't count on unemployment benefits

Workers who are fired for refusing to get inoculated against COVID-19 need not apply — for unemployment benefits. 

Not being eligible for government assistance if you lose your job for being unvaccinated is yet another indicator that the cost of forgoing the vaccine is rising in the U.S.

Vaccine mandates are quickly becoming the norm at companies large and small across the U.S., as employers take steps to ensure their workplaces are safe and their workers are protected against COVID-19.
