Abstract

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the infectious disease of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The magnitude and rarity of an event like the one this triggered contingency plans and the imposition of measures focused on public health and collective well-being with the restriction or limitation of individual freedoms. With a global event in progress, Brazilian society took the debate to all sectors, including discussions in the field of labor law. Faced with a scenario of uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the present work aims to study the theme relating it to the field of labor law. Using a deductive methodology and a bibliographic survey, this article brings a series of information that, when analyzed, will enable the answer to the question initially brought. Is it possible that a company will break its employment relationship with an employee who chooses not to vaccinate against COVID-19? Can such a waiver be considered for a just cause? In this way, this work brought the established jurisprudence regarding compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 to workers, if collective bargaining is observed.
