Add Comment Question: Can a hospital mandate for a student to have the covid vaccine and booster in order to do her placement there. Answer: Yes a hospital is permitted to have an internal policy that requires a covid-19 vaccine as a term of employment. A hospital wouldn't be able to introduce it as a new term of employment for existing employees, but can require it from new employees/students.
