Hindi po totoo ang kumakalat na balita na hindi makakatanggap ng ayuda o hindi papapasukin sa trabaho ang mga hindi pa nagpapabakuna. Ayon sa DOLE Advisory No. 03 Series of 2021, maaaring hikayatin ng mga employer ang kanilang empleyado na magpabakuna, ngunit hindi dapat madiskrimina ang mga wala pang bakuna o di kaya ay ayaw magpabakuna. Dagdag pa rito, nasasaad sa Republic Act 11525 na ang vaccine card ay hindi dapat gawing dagdag na requirement sa trabaho.
