If I require my employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of their employment, are adverse reactions to the vaccine recordable?
If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7.
OSHA suspended the mandatory recording guidelines to decrease administrative costs to businesses (and to ensure more employers jump on board with mandating vaccines) but employers are still required to grant exceptions under the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as comply with religious exemptions.
This is great, I have a friend that her company is pushing the vaxx pretty hard saying they will soon mandate it and she said she may have to look for a new job. She refuses the vaxx and won't wear the mask in her office.

Yes and no.
