Russian Law on Vaccination and Employment
There's currently no federal law in Russia that enforces COVID-19 vaccination as a prerequisite for keeping your job. However, employers could have internal vaccination policies, and some industries might require specific health and safety measures. Firing someone solely on the basis of their vaccination status isn't commonly cited as a legal reason for dismissal in Russian labor laws. Details
That being said, vaccination requirements can differ by region or industry, and some workplaces might mandate vaccination due to health and safety protocols. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, consult specific legal or HR guidelines.
