Webinar Recording: COVID-19 Vaccine: What Employers Should Expect

WEBINAR RECAP

The COVID-19 vaccine brings renewed optimism and hope, along with a host of questions and compliance issues for employers. During a 90-minute session, on Thursday, March 18, 2021, attorneys from Seyfarth's Labor & Employment and International Employment Law practices provided an overview of what employers should expect as the vaccine becomes more widely available both in the US and on a global scale.

The main session was divided into three parts:

• In Part I , our US-based attorneys discussed the impact of the COVID-19 vaccine in the US and how employers should plan for challenges associated with vaccine rollout.
• In Part II, our International Employment Law attorneys profiled the different legal and cultural environment outside the US and how employers should plan for challenges associated with vaccine rollout.
• In Part III, Karla Grossenbacher (US), Tessa Cranfield (London), and Paul Cutrone (Sydney) came together for a rapid-fire Q&A session to preview the differences between US and non-US approaches to vaccination, and whether they can be reconciled. 

POLLING RESULTS

To kick off the webinar, attendees were invited to provide information on their companies' COVID-19 vaccination plans.

In an overwhelming majority, 73% of respondents plan to encourage their employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine. 20% were not sure of their plans at the time of the poll, and 3% plan to mandate the vaccine.
