WORKERS who refuse to disclose their Covid-19 vaccination status can be treated as unvaccinated, and companies can terminate those who do not comply with workforce vaccination measures as a last resort, according to the latest tripartite advisory.

Employers can also impose a vaccination requirement upfront when hiring new staff for the purpose of planning workplace deployment, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said in response to a list of frequently asked questions posted on its website.
