Bills would cover adverse reactions to mandatory vaccinations

Two bills were scheduled to be introduced in the Oklahoma and New Hampshire state House of Representatives expanding workers compensation benefits for adverse vaccination reactions.

H.B. 1352, scheduled to be introduced in the New Hampshire House on Jan. 27, provides eligibility for workers compensation for an adverse reaction to a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination.

H.B. 3247, scheduled to be introduced in the Oklahoma House on Feb. 7, establishes employer liability for adverse events caused by vaccinations when such vaccinations are a condition of employment. The bill also provides exceptions as well as coverage for damages, costs and attorney fees.

The bill further seeks to nullify any federal statute, rule, or executive order relating to employment-related vaccination mandates.
