Does anyone know if all teachers will be forced to get the COVID vaccine?  Will they also be forced to get the Flu vaccine each year?  Should they be?  If you refuse should you be fired?

You can not force anyone to take an experimental "vaccine" (its not really) that is released under an emergency order.  The EUAs prevents that action.  Assuming the EUAs have teeth and are adhered to. 

It's fascinating that folks who have been anti mask are now also anti vaccination. That Darwin fellow may be on to something.

Please don't conflate anti and choice. 

A few years back, we were told that the flu vaccine was mandatory.  If an employee refused, he/she would have to wear a mask at work during flu season.  That could be a solution for people to keep their jobs and not take the vaccine.  BTW, I never once saw an employee wear a mask during flu season.

Millions of Asians wear masks during flu season every year.

No different than having to pass a drug test. 

I’m with ‘Ru on this one not apples to apples.  One is screening for illegal substances, one is forcing an antiviral vaccine upon you.

They aren't forcing you to do anything. They are giving you a choice.

That's fine.

Is the military different?

Yes, you know that you’re told what to do upon signing the contract.  Military and civilians are different statuses.

Get the vax or be fired?

You sign employee handbooks and amendments every year at most places.

Get the vaccine or find another job.

Do you think that is what should be done with teachers?

I think any entity has the right set the requirements for employment, assuming they are legal.

Are you a proponent of employers chipping employees as well?  Will you submit to a chip if the day comes?

And follow Union, ADA and Civil Rights guidelines.  I hope it never gets to the point that we’re forced.
