A global debate amid the pandemic has taken a new twist ((intensified)), over whether employers should be able to force their health care staff to be vaccinated.
In the United States, a judge in Texas dismissed a lawsuit by more than a hundred workers.
They attempted to sue a Houston hospital for issuing them with what they saw as an unfair ultimatum: take the COVID-19 vaccine or lose your job.
That ruling could encourage employers around the world to make the vaccine mandatory for all their healthcare workers.
