Being unvaccinated against COVID-19 could hurt you financially in 2022. Here are some financial considerations to factor in: 1. Losing a job and possibly jobless benefits 2. Paying more for healthcare costs 3. Potentially paying for COVID-19 testing
Roughly 15% of America’s adults haven’t had one COVID-19 shot, and polling shows the hold-outs include a group that consistently give a hard pass on the jab.
The number of vaccination holdouts is shrinking, according to ongoing polling from the Kaiser Family Foundation. As of November, 3% said they’d only do it if required, a steady number over the past several months. While the wait-and-see crowd has decreased, the people who say they’ll “definitely not” get the shot has ranged slightly from 12% to 16%, the polling showed.
But those cases, legal observers noted, revolve around one big question: Does the federal government have the power to tell businesses to require vaccines?Employers who decided to institute vaccine requirements by themselves, while carving out certain exemptions for religious beliefs or medical conditions, have withstood legal challenges, they add.
The number of employers with their own vaccine requirements is growing, but a lot still depends on the court battles over the federal rules, surveys show. For example, 75% of employees said they wouldn’t have a requirement if the OSHA rules didn’t take effect, according to a recent poll from the Society for Human Resource Management, a professional organization.
But the subsequent job hunt could become more difficult at a time, especially when some people are disclosing their vaccination status on their resume and LinkedIn profile. The extra $50 charge is putting the company in the ranks of other employers, like Delta Air Lines DAL, +2.12%, that are assessing surcharges. Delta’s $200 premium surcharge started in November.
