Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccinations: Can Your Employer Make you Get Vaccinated?

This timely and intermediate webinar answers the question “Can your employer make you get a Covid-19 vaccination?”  And the following question is relevant in our health care world:  “What if you are a health care employee?”  This requirement poses a set of legal questions for employers of both health care workers and others.

Can the employer require their employees to get it?   This is the fundamental question.

Generally, any employer may require this vaccine to be taken; this is more of a backdoor way of having vaccination as an actual job requirement.  This is the fundamental answer.  But is there more?  Aren’t their exceptions?  If so, what are they?

Now, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said most companies have the legal right to mandate a Covid-19 vaccine.  This intermediate webinar will delve into the EEOC guidance in much detail.

In sum, employees are entitled, and employers are required, to ensure a safe workplace in which an individual does not pose a direct threat to the health or safety of individuals in the workplace, including possible Covid-19 exposure and risk to self or others.
