The Americans with Disabilities Act protects workers who have “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity” from discrimination in hiring, firing, job assignments and other activities related to employment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says.
The court said the former AstraZeneca worker was not covered by the ADA because he “has not alleged facts showing he was regarded as having any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.” The worker alleged in his complaint that AstraZeneca “regarded him as disabled because he had the medical status of being unvaccinated.”
