COVID-19 Webinar 26 - Hawai‘i Public Health Institute

A vaccine requirement is viewed as a safety measure meant to protect the health of employees, clients, students and others in workplaces. Can employers require employees to be vaccinated? Can they incentivize vaccination? Should they? Our experts will discuss employers’ and employees’ rights, obligations and risks related to the COVID-19 vaccine along with the latest legal developments and guidance. We will also include a brief update on progress in administering the COVID-19 vaccine in Hawai‘i.
