NY Post followed up with the employer. You don't have to read too far between the lines of their comments to at least partially verify the waitress' story.
It is odd to me that she's not suing. She clearly went straight to the media with this story so I'm not sure what her angle is.
Waitresses tend to not have money lying around to afford a lawyer. This way she stands a good chance of either not needing one, or having them come out of the woodwork offering their services for free.
I'm fairly certain this violates many medical protections and privacy laws. She should be able to sue them successfully over the issue. I don't blame anyone hesitating taking a completely untested medication.
Remember kids, if you're pregnant, or believe you may be soon to become pregnant, take lots of undertested drugs and medications! That's what every doctor, scientist, and TV-marketing-maker says all the time!
"Before you terminate anybody, you have to really be able to show why that particular person is going to pose a significant, or they call it a direct threat," employment attorney Felicia Ennis said.
Lets ask the CDC.
Do I need to wear a mask and avoid close contact with others if I have gotten 2 doses of the vaccine?
And website says....

Yes. To protect yourself and others, follow these recommendations: Wear a mask over your nose and mouth. Stay at least 6 feet away from others. Avoid crowds. Avoid poorly ventilated spaces. Wash your hands often. It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic as we learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions. Experts are also looking at how many people get vaccinated and how the virus is spreading in communities. We also don’t yet know whether getting a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people, even if you don’t get sick yourself. CDC will continue to update this page as we learn more. Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following CDC’s recommendations for how to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from getting and spreading COVID-19. Additional information can be found at key things to know about the COVID-19 vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/keythingstoknow.html.
In anywhere but Clown World, this would be an open and shut win in a wrongful termination lawsuit. Given that the CDC itself says that they don't know how the vaccine impacts spread, there are absolutely no grounds to say that the vaccine does anything to mitigate a threat. Of course, given that we are in Clown World
The restaurant said Wednesday it was still requiring workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but that it would change its policy for employees requesting an exemption.
“Once New York state allowed restaurant workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to put a plan in place to keep our team and guests safe,” owner Billy Durney said in a statement.
“No one has faced these challenges before and we made a decision that we thought would best protect everyone,” he said. “We now realize that we need to update our policy so it’s clear to our team how the process works and what we can do to support them. We’re making these changes immediately.”
Sounds to me like they're backpedaling because of the media heat.

I'll translate this: "OHFUCKOHFUCK! OUR LAWYERS SAY WE FUCKED UP! FUCK!"

Free money and attention?

The law only applies when it can be used to subjugate you. You don't get to use it to fight back peasant.
She says she's not suing.
This vaccine will remain voluntary only as long as demand exceeds supply.

Wait, it's the literal reverse.
Are the young eligible for vaxxing in the US already? Or was there no centrally planned order?
I could be wrong but I believe this has been mostly left up to each state to administer through their own guidelines.
Food service jobs are considered essential and eligible for the vaccine.
