Employers not permitted to share vaccination status of workers with customers, experts say
TORONTO -- As pandemic restrictions continue to loosen across Canada amid increased vaccination rates, some customers may be hesitant to return to certain businesses if they are not made aware of the employees' COVID-19 vaccination status.
"It could work the other way, in terms of certain businesses asking their consumers are they vaccinated as well," he added.Kotak said this will likely cause consumers to "shop around" for certain products or services if the business does not disclose vaccination information, specifically in industries such as personal care, retail, and hospitality.
If an employee does agree to share that information, Achkar said employees still have certain protections under those various legislations that may prevent specific details from being disclosed to customers, including medications or vaccinations. Wolpert told CTVNews.ca in an email that customers should base their decision to visit certain business on what visible health measures they have in place, rather than the vaccination status of its employees.
