Description
Now that a COVID-19 vaccine is a reality, many employers are contemplating whether they will be able to require employees to take it when it becomes available to the general population. Like with many other questions about COVID-19, the answer is not clear. But what is clear is that employers can start planning now to ensure the health and safety of their employees.
Join Dykema's Elisa J. Lintemuth, member, labor and employment, and Melvin J. Muskovitz, senior counsel, labor and employment, for a discussion on:
- Whether an employer can mandate employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
- Whether employees have a legal basis to object.
- Whether the rules are different for vaccines approved on an Emergency Authorization (EUA) basis.
- Potential liability considerations.
- Practical concerns.
Lintemuth and Muskovitz will engage in a discussion with Tammy Carnrike, chief operating officer for the Detroit Regional Chamber. Participants can submit questions during the discussion.
