DHB Worker Reports Manager’s Serious Reactions and Denied Exemption

I just want to share you the story of my manager. I am one of many that really did not want to take the Covid vaccine. My manager talked to me as initial step of the process of HR to deal with those who were refusing the mandatory vax. My manager shared her story about her first dose, that she had an adverse reaction, that she needed to be treated in emergency in hospital. She was anxious for her 2nd dose and so she took that in the emergency department. I did not hear from her what happened about the second dose reaction.

But on 3rd or booster shot, she withheld this for sometimes, hoping she can get a medical exemption. Her reason was she developed an autoimmune disease. She was not granted the medical exemption despite the life- threatening reactions she had with the previous doses. She was forced to take the booster. She was pre medicated to counteract the expected reactions from the vaccine. She seems fine at this stage. I feel what happened to her was wrong. But she probably cannot afford to lose her job. On the other hand, I have one workmates that left the job to avoid the jab.
