ACC NCR Vaccine Readiness, Preparing your Company for Vaccines and Avoiding Employee Claims

Employer vaccination programs, whether mandatory or incentivized, must be planned carefully, especially to avoid claims under federal, state, and local laws. We will discuss concrete steps employers can take right now including messaging, accommodations, policies, and practices that companies should consider to avoid defending COVID-19 vaccine claims later.

Topics discussed will include:
* Legal differences between FDA’s vaccine approval process and emergency use authorization (EUA) process;
* Employer decision to incentivize vs. mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for employees;
* Employer on-site vs. off-site vaccination clinics;
* Preparing employee messaging regarding management’s decisions about the vaccine;
* Developing policies and best practices for documenting accommodations, collecting proof of vaccination, and data information storage and usage.
