Pa. State Rep. Wants Natural Immunity As Exemption To COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A Pennsylvania state representative wants employers to count natural immunity in place of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Representative Eric Nelson says it's to exempt employees from mandated vaccines.

He says the goal of a vaccine is to generate antibodies to the virus -- something that anyone who previously had COVID-19 would possess.

Nelson says he believes this should prevent individuals from being fired for not complying with a vaccine mandate.
