It's kind of no man's land, but it seems like the prevailing opinion is no--the employer can't be held liable for adverse reactions. It would really require a case to come before a court given there are so many things at play that are unprecedented. In other cases of an adverse reaction to vaccines that are mandated, employers are not held liable.
