Arizona attorney general says private businesses can mandate vaccines
PHOENIX — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said local businesses can require their workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine, yet they must accommodate those who can't get vaccinated due to a disability or religious belief.
In response to legal questions surrounding vaccine mandates, Arizona's top law official has issued an opinion that tells local businesses to not force vaccines upon patrons and employees with legitimate exemptions.
"They must not discriminate against customers who cannot obtain such a vaccine due to a sincerely-held religious belief," Brnovich wrote.
Public institutions like schools and government agencies cannot impose vaccine mandates, Brnovich said, since existing state law already prohibits them from enforcing vaccines on workers.
