Highlights
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has issued guidance that makes it clear employers can require employees to receive Covid-19 vaccinations under certain circumstances and with certain exceptions.

During this webinar, attendees will learn
- What EEOC guidance says about mandating vaccines in the workplace
- What considerations relating to the Occupational Safety and Health Act might apply to Covid-19 vaccines and the effect of these vaccines on workplace safety
- How state legislation might prevent employers from mandating employee vaccines
