New Iowa Code signed by our Governor in October allows anyone to refuse a vaccine for any reason.

Terminating someone who provides a waiver not only exposes the employer to liability for jobless benefits, but also to what is sometimes called a “Springer claim.”
The law provides the basis for an employee who has been fired following a denial of a “waiver” from an employer COVID-19 vaccination mandate after providing a statement consistent with the new statute to institute a legal action for wrongful termination.
