Childcare worker sacked for refusing flu vaccine loses unfair dismissal

A childcare worker sacked for refusing to have a flu vaccination has lost her unfair dismissal claim.

The Fair Work Commission found the employer had a valid reason to sack the worker because she refused to follow a reasonable and lawful direction.

Employment law experts believe the decision will have implications for the COVID-19 vaccine rollout later this year.
