Can an employer mandate a vaccine before employees return to work? What about requiring a vaccine to return from working at home? Join Michael Sullivan & Associates General Managing Partner Michael Sullivan, Employment Law Practice Managing Partner, Eric De Wames and special guest, Christine Gerbasi, Vice President, Property & Casualty with Keenan & Associates for a discussion on these issues.

Vaccines for COVID-19 are coming to California starting in mid-December. What are they? Are they safe? What are the dangers, if any? And, what should an employer do? May an employer require employees to get a vaccine as a condition of physically returning to work? Should it? What liabilities are associated with the choices an employer may make? Join Michael Sullivan & Associates General Managing Partner Michael Sullivan, Employment Law Practice Managing Partner, Eric De Wames and special guest, Pulmonary and Sleep Specialist Dr. Eli Hendel for an in depth discussion on the nature of the vaccine, what Californians can expect in the coming months, and the questions employers must face.
