A teacher, a nurse and an IT worker say why they would rather lose their jobs than get jabbed.
Demonstrations have taken place in cities around the US against mandatory vaccination
The president says he will soon bring in a mandate that requires all healthcare workers to have had the jab, and has urged states to do the same with teachers. Ms Cushman argues that the Covid vaccines remain "experimental", despite the Pfizer vaccine having full Food and Drug Administration approval in the US - meaning the FDA considers that enough data has been gathered to indicate the drug is safe and effective. But she says she no longer takes any vaccines at all in any case.Managers who have already decided to impose vaccine mandates at their hospitals say it is primarily about making patients feel safe.
The hospital manager says that on balance it is still the right decision to require vaccination, partly because serious coronavirus-related sickness among staff - more likely among the unvaccinated - is an avoidable drain on resources.
